Interactive Kinetic Facade with Design for Disassembly (DfD) strategy: improving energy efficiency and circularity of building materials in tropical climate
Building is a significant contributor to energy and material consumption. In tropical countries, the primary energy consumer in buildings is Air Conditioning (AC), driven by the cooling load from solar radiation. Interactive Kinetic Facade (IKF) can reduce building energy consumption by mitigating solar radiation. Furthermore, IKF has drawbacks in maintenance and disassembly. Therefore, this study proposed a Design for Disassembly (DfD) strategy that allows building components to easily disassemble for reuse. The objective of this study was to investigate the application of IKF with DfD strategy in the Engineering Center (EC) building facade. This study proposed a combination of on-site measurements, simulations, and calculations to comprehend the impact of IKF with DfD strategy implementation on energy consumption and material reusability. This research found that implementing IKF with the DfD strategy can significantly reduce solar radiation through building facade. The reduction can be indicated by a decrease of several parameters, Overall Thermal Transfer Value (OTTV) by 59%, annual operative temperature by 2.53°C and Energy Use Intensity (EUI) by 47.43%. In addition, the facade disassembly process is simpler with only 1 tool and 4 stages. This study could serve as a reference to improve energy efficiency and material reusability in building sector.
