Transparent Building Components’ Design
This chapter explains the path toward the development of a toolbox to compile and quantify options for decision-making, supporting the sustainable inclusion and design of Transparent Building Components (TBC) within complex building systems. This “decision support tool,” conceived for the early-stage design of TBC, will be implemented through the setup of a systematic methodology to assess building integration potential of glazing technologies, through a balanced scorecard approach, coupled with an assessment matrix to measure the progresses towards desirable outcomes. The final item of such tool(box), called “Smart Windows’ Configurator,” will help in providing strategical addresses to inform the design of Transparent Building Components, providing a holistic qualitative evaluation framework to gain insights into the degree of fulfillment of smart windows requirements.
