This article discusses design, prototype development and a simulation study of novel types of facade systems, which integrate thermoelectric (TE)
Over the last two decades, in what has been coined “The Digital Turn”, the introduction of parametric design software has afforded increased
Solar shading devices are required to find a trade-off between conflicting requirements: Protection from excessive solar gains and glare, daylight
Thermal bridging through building façades have been overlooked by designers and building energy codes and standards in the past, which has led to
This research unlocks the relationship between space, structure and light in nine unique museums developed by architect Renzo Piano. Renzo Piano uses
Recent years have seen an increased use of insulated glazing units in spandrel applications to visually blend the appearance between the vision and
The development of methods to predict and control moisture accumulation in building envelopes has always been a key element in building science.
The historical focus on reducing the carbon footprint of a building has recently shifted to include more emphasis on embodied carbon, the carbon
