Design approaches and typologies of adaptive facades: A review

Automation in Construction, 2021
Abstract The most ambitious challenge for designers is an effective shading system that is able to keep the balance between the daylight harvesting and view out maximization while minimizing discomfort risks and building's energy load. In the literature, several definitions exist for an adaptive facade and many terminologies were introduced and used ...

“Adaptive radiation” optimization for climate adaptive building facade design strategy

Building Simulation, 2017
This paper introduces an evolutionary algorithm methodology to solve facade optimization problems in different climates. The algorithm is based on the improvement of simple Genetic Algorithm (GA). The concept of Adaptive Radiation (AR) is derived from the biological process of adaptation where specific species are evolutionarily adapted to their ...

Surveying impacts of adaptive facades on acoustical quality of classrooms

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2021
Acoustical quality greatly affects the performance of classrooms. Classrooms with decent acoustics will provide good communication between students and teachers as well as between attendants themselves. In order to meet the requirements of user-amenity acoustical quality assessment standards such as United Kingdom Building Bulletin 93 or ANSI Standard ...

A review of occupant-centric control strategies for adaptive facades

Automation in Construction, 2021
Abstract The dynamic nature of daylight requires a responsive strategy by utilizing adaptive facades (AFs) as shading systems to control the indoor environment. Controlling an adaptive facade's performance is feasible either through an automatic control strategy without any user interventions or occupant-centric control strategy allowing user ...
