Adaptive Façades Systems: procedures and protocols for performance monitoring & evaluation

The assessment of adaptive facades presents a challenge because there is
no established evaluation strategy to systematically reach this goal and many
of the available building energy standards and codes have limited
applicability for such advanced facade systems.
This paper aims at providing an overview of recent research and
development in this field as well as the assessment of adaptive facades as
integrated systems with different subsystems.
The paper reviews current evaluation methods for assessing adaptive
facades system through a literature review. The review is used to identify
gaps in existing assessment methods and to help develop strategies for the
holistic evaluation and assessment of adaptive facade systems as part of
high performance buildings.
