ADAPTIVE BUILDING ENVELOPE

Shruti Verma

Abstract:

We are facing complex problem of energy consumption of buildings , as it is a cross section of building envelope performance, indoor environmental conditions and user demands and preferences. In order to fulfil the Energy consumption and energy package and beyond, the implementation of high-performance buildings is crucial. Adaptive building envelope solve the part of this problem. It can contribute in increase occupancy comfort and reduce energy consumption. The aim of this research paper is to discuss various strategies used in constructing adaptive building envelopes integrating architectural innovation and improved energy performance, in order to Control the physical environmental factors like heat, light, sounds, as well as improving user comfort. Two case studies are analyzed THE implementation of these strategies on constructing structures with smart material and responsive facade system and study their effects on building energy saving.

Keywords: building automation, building envelope, Indoor environment, Human comfort, Thermal comfort, Smart material, Responsive material.
