“…Thus virtual objects, in this case kinetic façades systems, are able to self-actuate and regulate light levels and solar heat gains of the actual building component, via its real time sensor-actuator connection. This is based on the results of visual programming algorithms that uses information from a "virtual to real" sensor data within the BIM environment [19].…”

“…Developing a prototype BIM-SDA-SBE application [19], involved connecting a building information model created in ©Autodesk Revit to the sensors in the real world using ©Autodesk Dynamo visual programming language [20] to collect and evaluate real time sensor data readings, and then programming the intelligent kinetic façade climatic response, either via controlling the façade system apertures or their shading angles. An Arduino Uno Board has been used to take readings of current room conditions, notably temperature using a DHT22 sensor, and light (lux) using a TSL2591 sensor (see Fig.…”

New computational techniques have been introduced to assist the design of adaptable building façades and to help quantify relationships between the building envelope and the environment. Designers increasingly use generative design approach for form-generation of building envelopes, and the organisation of components over a predefined form. In this research an original shape grammar approach for façade systems generation is proposed, with a rule-based method for the creation and exploration of complex shape composites based upon a set of simple initial shapes and predefined rules of composition. This is in order to explore a form finding of set of different building façade configurations before merging generated data into a simulated process of real-time daylighting and heat gains performance evaluation. The developed models adapt via responding to the data-regulation protocols responsible for sensing and processing building performance data in real time. The research reports on the prototype system development and testing, allowing continuous evaluation of multiple solutions and presenting opportunity for further improvement via multi-objective optimisation, which would be very difficult to do, if not impossible, with conventional design methods.

Ambient conditions influence human health, emotions, and mental power. Therefore, numerous studies have been conducted in different disciplines on the measurement and control of ambient conditions in classrooms. Moreover, a number of studies identify some physical and mental performances of students simultaneously or for informative purposes by utilizing various hardware and software. However, these studies did not consider automatic control processes and individuality in fulfilling classroom ambient conditions, which influence students’ behavior. This study aims to reduce the adverse impacts of environmental factors on learning and control more necessary physical parameters with higher accuracy using the latest technology and methods. Thus, a new smart classroom incubator (SCI) algorithm, including hardware, software, and experimental studies, in which individual differences could be considered even in the same classroom environment, and its implementation were presented. The system enables access and monitoring of data wherever there is Internet connection. Moreover, it was designed based on IoT because it allows for data transfer over web services or data-dependent operations. All the necessary equipment was placed in the classroom without affecting the learning environment and distracting the class. Cronbach’s α coefficient, which indicates the reliability of the implemented model, was 0.891.

“…Special attention is devoted to buildings due to the large amount both of energy consumption and estimated energy savings of this sector in EU member states. Technology innovations offer new solutions for buildings and smart energy concepts that enable more dynamic and interactive buildings, where technologies are used in conjunction with optimum design techniques [ 6 , 7 , 8 ]. On the other hand, as the economy, urbanization, and population of developing countries continue to grow, a significant increase in building energy consumption in these countries is expected.…”

Experimental Analysis of MOC Composite with a Waste-Expanded Polypropylene-Based Aggregate

et al. 2018

Polypropylene (PP) is one of the most widely produced types of plastic worldwide, but its recycling is limited. This work presents a study of the utilization of expanded polypropylene (EPP) waste in a magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC) composite usable in the building industry. MOC is formed by mixing magnesium oxide powder and a concentrated solution of magnesium chloride and is characterized by excellent bonding ability to large quantities of different types of aggregates. A developed air-cured MOC composite, where an EPP-based aggregate was used for the full replacement of natural aggregate, was investigated in terms of its basic physical, mechanical, thermal and water resistance properties. The results demonstrate that incorporation of EPP waste greatly improved the thermal insulation properties, while the mechanical resistance was reduced to an acceptable level. The developed MOC composite containing EPP waste can be considered as an alternative thermal insulation material applicable for the construction of floor or envelope construction systems.
