Modelling of active solar building envelopes for cost-effective evaluation
Journal of Facade Design and Engineering, 2017 Active building envelopes have provided cost reductions of 40% compared to the separate installation of solar collectors on a building envelope. However, solar building envelopes are more complex than conventional building envelopes due to their ...

Termite-inspired metamaterials for flow-active building envelopes
Frontiers in Materials, 2023 In this article we investigate the performative potential of reticulated tunnel networks to act as drivers for selective airflows in building envelopes and thereby facilitate semi-passive climate regulation.

Determination of the thermal time constant of the reinforced concrete building component [PDF]
Biuletyn Wojskowej Akademii Technicznej, 2017 As a result of changes in the boundary conditions, a heat exchange in the building envelope is not always in a steady state. Heat fluxes penetrating through the wall may be several times greater than the steady state.

Journal of Civil Engineering and Architecture, 2011 In this paper, for a sustainable building in a Mediterranean climate areas, the relation between envelope and energy is discussed. The relation between envelopes and energy has been considered in all the phases of the life building (construction phase and during operation).

Computational Colour Matching of Laminated Photovoltaic Modules for Building Envelopes
Buildings, 2017 The widespread adoption of photovoltaics (PV) in architecture as a source of renewable energy is often limited due to poor visual acceptance. We propose the use of coloured frontglass manufactured by digital ceramic printing to cover the PV cells, thus ...
