Switching daylight: Performance prediction of climate adaptive ETFE foil façades
This paper reports on the daylighting performance of switchable ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) foil in double-skin façades (DSF). In contrast to conventional glazing or static ETFE façades, switchable ETFE moderates incident daylight and controls ...

Hygroscopy and adaptive architectural façades:an overview
Hygroscopic properties of wood have been utilized in adaptive façades to respond to variation in humidity levels. Shape-shifting materials have been developed to replace mechanical actuators that respond to climatic variation with zero-energy consumption.
