Control strategies for intelligent glazed façade and their influence on energy and comfort performance of office buildings in Denmark

Cost-optimal design for nearly zero energy office buildings located in warm climates

“…The influence of control strategies on energy demand and comfort performance in offices have been investigated by Liu et al [16]. The authors show that an intelligent glazed façade is capable of monitoring thermal, solar and mass transmittance by controlling shutters, blinds and openings.…”

Application of passive wall systems for improving the energy efficiency in buildings: A comprehensive review

“…Moreover, energy performance of blind systems can be significantly improved by applying daylighting control. Liu et al [98] developed control strategies for intelligent glazed façades and investigated the effects of different control strategies on energy and comfort performance in office buildings. They numerically utilized a simplified hourly calculation method developed to calculate yearly energy and comfort performance of an office room equipped with an intelligent façade.…”

“…These façades have been developed with the aim of rectifying all the drawbacks of current façades (see Table 3) [97], improving the indoor comfort level and fulfilling the future energy requirements [98,130]. In this regard, Inkarojrit [99] states that; application of intelligent façades delivers two significant advantages namely; improving the thermal comfort sensation and the building energy reduction.…”

Effect of internal woven roller shade and glazing on the energy and daylighting performances of an office building in the cold climate of Shillong

“…Moreover, access to direct sun and excessive daylight, which are main sources of discomfort glare, need to be addressed suitably in all climatic conditions. The energy and visual performances of the façade are defined by many parameters: for example façade size, properties of glazings and shadings, and their arrangements as well as control strategies [10][11][12][13]. Thus, various glazing and shading options have been proposed in the recent literature to regulate thermal and visual environments in the buildings [14][15][16][17][18].…”
