Day 2, Session Block A6
14:00 Advanced Building Skin Design
Chair: Anders Nereim, School of the Arts Institute of Chicago, United States
Demystifying high-performing building enclosures
- Glazing design strategies to control solar heat gain and glare
- Cladding design strategies to control basic environmental forces
- Coordinating HVAC system with the enclosure system for optimal energy conservation
Advanced façade engineering for high-rise buildings and free-form cold-bent façades
- Megatall towers
- Complex geometries
- Unitized façades
Optimized design and control of cost-effective climate façades for high-rise buildings
- Efficient shading device control requires integrated model-based predictive control
- Energy performance buildings standards (CEN, ISO) require adjustments to adequately appreciate innovative adaptive climate façades
- Substantial energy savings can be realized with improved façade design and control
Merging aesthetics and energy performance
- Developing an architectural vision
- Understanding energy design parameters
- Methods and tools that inform design
An integrated design approach of high-performance façades
- Exhaust cavity façade
- High-performance, low-maintenance design
- Continental headquarters in Hanover, Germany
Skin design for absorbing and reusing rainwater
- Typology of water absorption and storage in plants
- Building skin panels with veins, organelles and vesicles
- Phylotaxis of skin panel configuration for water management
