IWG5 White Paper
This white paper provides an in-depth analysis of active module systems for building envelope, focusing on their development, challenges, and potential targets for future implementation. The paper examines the current landscape of active modules, reviews best practice projects from 2018 to 2023, and identifies gaps and barriers within the industry. By adopting a comprehensive methodology, this study aims to redefine the concept of active modules and propose strategies for their advancement in the construction sector. The analysis of active module projects over the past six years reveals significant advancements in design, manufacturing, and testing capabilities. The integration of digital tools and parametric design tools has enhanced the accuracy and flexibility of active facade system design and furthermore, digital fabrication techniques have enabled more precise customization and cost-effectiveness in manufacturing active modules. Material science advancements have led to the development of lightweight and high-performance materials, offering improved durability, insulation properties, and aesthetic possibilities. Additionally, the integration of sensors, actuators, and control systems has enabled real-time monitoring and adaptive responses to changing environmental conditions. Despite these advancements, several challenges and barriers exist in the widespread adoption of active modules. Decision-making complexity in multicriteria analysis, integration with existing building systems, technological maturity and reliability, cost and economic viability, standardisation and quality frameworks, regulatory and permitting challenges, maintenance and serviceability, and the lack of end-of-life analysis are identified as key challenges. These barriers require collaborative efforts among architects, engineers, manufacturers, regulators, and researchers to overcome. To address these challenges, the white paper proposes specific targets and actions for the active module sector. This includes further research and ...
