Several years ago, Technoform and the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS) researched the thermal performance of different aluminum
Parametric Design has become an invaluable tool for complex tasks like designing energy efficient buildings when joined to performance-based
Daylighting & Solar Glare control, which affect both the energy consumption of the building as well as the comfort of the occupants, become
Architects today must explore alternative enclosure materials to meet evolving energy codes and embodied carbon regulations. Terra cotta has been
<p>Kinetic responsive systems are gaining attention in architectural applications, to reduce the building’s energy consumption and environmental…
Facades play an important role in the control of energy flow and energy consumption in buildings as they represent the interface between the outdoor
Thermal bridging through building façades have been overlooked by designers and building energy codes and standards in the past, which has led to
Kinetic or responsive facades have been developed to improve buildings' daylighting conditions while mitigating energy consumption. Still, these
The piezoelectric facade as a self-sustained technology can generate a considerable amount of energy by converting swaying motions (actuated by the
In recent decades, there has been increased attention to reduce the operational energy performance of buildings. Stringent legislation on building
