Facade Photometry: Linking Annual Daylight Performance to Facade Design
This concept paper illustrates a new simulation method to assess how building facades distribute light into interior spaces and how data from simulation studies can inform design for better facade performance. Facade photometry, a term developed by the authors, uses annual simulations and localized weather data to create temporally based illuminance ...

The effect of facade design on facade surface temperature and outdoor microclimate
Extreme heat due to climate change, heatwaves and the urban heat island effect amplify urban heat-health risks. Addressing urban heat is now an adaptive policy priority for global and Australian cities. The microclimates of pedestrians are influenced by the design of buildings which are the basic units of urban climate. For architects to adopt building

The diffuser design of ventilated facades
The main problem in the design of front systems is an empirical choice of parameters and the air gap between the cladding panels, causing appear of unventilated layer. Inadequate ventilation leads to icing of substructure elements that go into the air ventilated gap, and the top layer in winter, reduction of heat-protective properties as a whole.

Facade Retention Accomplishments in View of Ergonomic Design [PDF]
Both individual buildings and large complexes of buildings that are now being adapted or revitalized may have been withdrawn from using due to some general economic tendencies progressing, as well as in consequence of technical deterioration of the given object or just not being able to keep up-to-date maintenance standards.

In this research, questionnaire survey to the architect and building service designer was carried out to pick out and to research the trend and design intent of glass facade buildings in Tokyo, and figure out advanced facade model. It was understood that glass facade building was increasing yearly and many designer was looking to the double skin facade.

Impact of parametric design on designing performative facades
In a simple definition, architecture was aimed to inhabit human inside a space that covers him from wild extreme environmental conditions. During the centuries, it developed and achieved higher levels of complexity and advancements in technology, space organization, style, material assembly and so on.

Product model based design of precast facades
In Finland, approximately 80 % of the facades of buildings are manufactured as precast units. Currently one of the obstacles to making the overall design and construction of precast building facades more efficient is the exchange of data about facades between architects, structural engineers and precast element manufacturers. The product model approach
