INTELLIGENT FACADES AS AN ENERGY-EFFICIENT BUILDING DESIGN APPROACH

Özlem EREN¹ , Banu ERTURAN ²

Need increase for energy-efficient building design because of recent the global environmental problems that started at the begining of twenty-first century have been accelerated building industry and develeped new tools and new technologies. These new tools are enable architects and engineers to develop more reliably solutions that will deliver the desired energy saving performance. Facades provide a key performance contribution to these aggressive goals, if operated as responsive, dynamic elements to control ventilation, daylight, and solar gain. In this context intelligent facades, are very important about energy-efficient building design. The primary objective in designing intelligent facades is to minimize a building`s energy expenditure and to generate energy by means of the building facade without compromising user convenience. This study focuses on those parameters and alternatives for intelligent facade design that support the concept of energy-efficient building, and present
