“…20 The study provided a comparative review of responsive facade systems. 5,35 Moreover, the study of HeidariMatin and Eydghai is the most comprehensive study that reviewed adaptive facades for implemented technologies in relation to their benefits and shortcomings. 5 However, none of the above-mentioned studies investigated adaptive facades to address the large variety of different technological landscapes and assess their potential.…”

“…In general, more extensive research on future adaptive facade technologies in smart and high-performance buildings is required. 5,35 Knowledge gaps exist in terms of the market share of adaptive facades, including the main concepts, the most promising technologies, their categorization, their best fitto-purpose use, and the distinction between the short-term cyclical and long-term structural trends of adaptive facade technologies. Most studies on adaptive facades are either focused on a single adaptive facade technology (eg, solar shading or AVFs) or focus on structural aspects of adaptive facades, like the work of Bedon et al 37,38 or focus on reviewing technologies existing currently or in the past.…”

There is a growing interest in adaptive facade technologies to counter overheating problems and well‐being concerns in smart and high‐performance buildings. However, traditional literature review studies do not necessarily provide deep insights into the future trends of adaptive facade technologies. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a novel conceptual framework and technological classification for adaptive facades in the future. Our research methodology includes a literature review expert interviews and content analysis. In‐depth interviews with 27 international adaptive facade experts were conducted with a focus on the European context. The results categorize the adaptive facade technologies under four promising families and present a conceptual framework that identifies human‐centered design, smart building operating systems, service‐driven solutions, circularity, and materials as the main drivers of the facade technological advancements. Overall, this methodology yields new and rich qualitative knowledge related to adaptive facades; however, it has certain limitations, such as being time‐consuming. The research provides insights on future delivery processes and the future structural trends of adaptive facades. The new categorization and framework articulate the multifunctionality and performance requirements of facade technologies including smartness, automation, comfort, and well‐being.
