Energy Performance Analysis of Kinetic Façades by Climate Zones
Kinetic façadesKinetic Façade have been often used as a solution to reduce building energy consumption. Many researchers have been actively studying on energy reduction aspect of kinetic façades, but the energy performance of kinetic façades in a spectrum of climate conditions has not been systematically studied. This research investigated the energy saving aspect of kinetic façades in different climate conditions. Two types of kinetic façades, folding and sliding, were compared to optimized fixed-shading façades and a no-shading façade. The simulation results showed that the kinetic façades, compared to the no-shading façade, reduced 32–56% of energy consumption in ASHRAE zone 1–3, with the folding façade slightly outperforming the sliding façade. In zone 4, the sliding façade outperformed the folding façade. As an exception, the amount of energy reduction in marine zones was negligible. In zone 5–8, the kinetic façades did not show a meaningful energy reduction. Compared to the optimized static façades, the kinetic façades generally showed noticeable energy reduction in hot and warm climate conditions. These simulation results are expected to provide basic rules of thumb to designers when considering kinetic façades as a means of energy reduction strategy.
