Smart Architecture – A Sustainable Approach for Transparent Building Components Design
Introduction -- The Building Envelope -- The “Smart” Concept Definition in Architecture -- How Technology Has Shaped Architecture Over the Years -- Smart Architecture: Selection and Classification of Existing Examples of Smart Buildings -- Why Windows Matter? -- Glazing for Smart Architecture -- Smart Window Technologies -- The Decision Support Tool.
This book explores the specific role that glazing technologies play within the world of smart architecture as important components of contemporary and future sustainable architectural and technological research. Smart Architecture begins with a definition of the concept of “smart” in architecture and examines how innovative technologies and materials have shaped buildings over the years. The author then provides a supporting database of contemporary smart architecture—mapping adopted strategies, recognizing common patterns, and evaluating current and future trends in the context of smart building envelopes, energy efficiency, and the development of high-potential innovative building components. The book proceeds with a focus on the specific role that glazing technologies play in this framework and provides a systematic methodology to quantify options for the effective integration of transparent building components within advanced and innovative building envelope systems. Presents an up-to-date examination of emerging materials for building envelope Evaluates state-of-the-art of technologies for smart adaptive building envelopes Provides a “toolbox” for the design and integration of transparent building components.
