Intelligent and Adaptive Fa?ade System. The Impact of Intelligent and Adaptive Fa?ade on the Performance and Energy Efficiency of Buildings

      Аннотация: The integration of nature and technology always represents a rich combination of developed and innovative elements to serve the environment. Building performance depends not only on the operation of individual elements in the building but also on how they behave as integrated systems to satisfy the user demands. In architecture, usually projects are consist of different stages of design process, and several factors need to be considered among this cycle, such as climate, building shape, comfort levels, materials, occupant health and security. Therefore, advanced technologies became a significant discourse that caught the interest of many professional fields. The building envelope is particularly important, as it is the starting point of energy efficiency measures, and the main determinant of the amount of energy required for heating, cooling and ventilation. In order to be able to deal with the different energy saving alternatives, a strong foundation of knowledge need to be addressed to the architects and engineers. Hence, understanding the nature of a specific system in the ecosystem can provide us with intelligent solutions that could fulfill the multipurpose functions.
