A Framework for Adaptive Façade Optimization Design Based on Building Envelope Performance Characteristics

open access: yesBuildings
The adaptive façades serve as the interface between the indoor and outdoor energy of the building. Adaptive façade optimization design can improve daylighting performance, the thermal environment, view performance, and solar energy utilization efficiency,

Example-based dynamic façade design using the facade daylighting performance improvement (FDPI) indicator

open access: yesBuilding Simulation, 2023
It remains challenging to conduct an efficient dynamic façade design. In this article authors try to address this issue introducing the façade daylighting performance improvement (FDPI) indicator aimed to evaluate the performance of a dynamic (adaptive ...

Decision Support for Defining Adaptive Façade Design Goals in the Early Design Phase

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
Compared to conventional façades, adaptive façades (AFs) can adjust their properties in response to environmental changes and user requirements. Often performed through the integration of actuators, sensors, and control units, this provides benefits such

Integrating power flow modelling with building simulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The inclusion of photovoltaic facades and other local sources of both heat and power within building designs has given rise to the concept of embedded generation: where some or all of the heat and power demands are produced close to the point of use ...

The importance of iterative process in facade design optimization for a green office building in South Tangerang City

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Earth and Environment, 2021
Currently, climate change and wellbeing provoke buildings to have higher sustainable performance. So, the condition expects that buildings can tackle those issues that benefit and less impact the environment and its occupants.

Wire mesh design [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present a computational approach for designing wire meshes, i.e., freeform surfaces composed of woven wires arranged in a regular grid. To facilitate shape exploration, we map material properties of wire meshes to the geometric model of Chebyshev nets.
