The comparison of device materials of sliding sudare using a prototyping method

Abstract

Sliding Sudare has a big potential to be developed considered its high effectiveness in minimizing building energy consumption while still maintaining its visibility quality. Meanwhile, its original blinds that is made of bamboo cannot withstand extreme weather and have a short lifespan. Therefore, this research is to investigate the effectiveness of the other material alternatives namely stainless steel, plastic, and natural fiber. A scaled model is used for prototyping the materials in the shape of bicycle spokes, PLA+ (3D printer filament), and bamboo slats as the blinds. These everyday objects were tested in terms of their physical characteristic and were measured by four parameters (security requirement, weather resistance, construction process, and cost-effectiveness). From the research, it was concluded that bicycle spokes has the highest overall performance with the highest advantages in weather resistance requirement, cost-effectiveness, and construction; whilst PLA+ and bamboo slats have the least overall performance though both have high advantage in terms of security requirement.

Effectiveness of adaptive facade with helicone mechanisms on energy values and natural lighting in Indonesia

“…The building envelope is calculated to contribute 40% more heat loss or overheating. This does not keep up with changing outdoor conditions, and is exacerbated by the WWR (Window to Wall Ratio) configuration and inefficient opening orientation (Yan et al 2019;Hariyadi et al 2021). Therefore, the proposed active and passive building designs are intended to provide convenience and greatly reduce the high energy requirements, before considering mechanical systems (associated with fossil fuelbased energy consumption).…”
