Task 56 focuses on simulation, laboratory testing, and onsite monitoring of Building Integrated Solar Envelope Systems, while Task 60 provides principals for the system design of photovoltaic thermal hybrid solar collectors (PVT collectors) and explores the performance of existing technologies. Furthermore, the International Energy Agency Solar Heating and Cooling research network (IEA SHC) amends research and practical approaches toward more adaptive façades by initiating two task forces. As a result, a growing number of incentives, such as COST Action TU 1403 on adaptive facades, encourage specialized academic research to improve the building envelope with the help of different technologies. An effective solution to shift toward decarbonization in the built environment is the improvement of building envelopes. The European Commission and the Horizon 2020 program promote affordable technologies and solutions at building and district levels to ensure a shift toward the decarbonization of the existing building market. In 2018, the European Parliament legislated for an improved 2030 target of reducing domestic greenhouse gas emission by at least 40%. The European Union policies on building level are moving toward an integrated approach considering energy, costs, and environmental aspects together with enhancement of indoor comfort. The second characteristic is the level of occupant interaction with the envelope, meaning if the user has the ability to operate some functions on the ADBE manually, or through the usage of building energy management systems.īuildings consume a share of approximately 30–40% of the primary energy throughout the world and make up for nearly one-third of the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). The first characteristic is the level of how active or passive the technologies used in the final ADBE product perform. ADBEs vary from one another based on their level of active-passiveness, and user controllability. According to their usage, they can be sorted into four categories, i.e., technologies for energy harvesting, technologies affecting heat transfer, technologies for air conditioning, and technologies for storage systems. There is a range of technologies that an ADBE can incorporate to enhance a building’s energy performance. ADBEs exploit the benefits of passive and active technologies that manage the energy and mass transfer between building and outdoor environment.
BUILDING ENVELOPE MATERIAL SKIN
Adaptive Dynamic Building Envelope (ADBE) is the term used to describe envelope systems that increase the adaptability of the building skin toward changing ambient conditions, resulting in better energy efficiency and thermal comfort.
