“…Procurement of the facade as the building envelope also contains economic value, the proportion of which is enough to absorb the procurement budget of the entire building. Previous research mentioned that one of the obstacles in the exploration of facade design is the economic aspect, such as in the design of green walls [15] and adaptive walls [16], even though these studies also mentioned that the non-patented facade design has advantages in various other ways, such as social and energy savings. Use of waste as facade material can be an alternative to reduce the economic value of facade design exploration, such as the use of used car steel as facade panels, which can reduce the procurement price of facades while still having good performance [17].…”

Indonesia is a country, rich with culture and natural resources that brings high tourism potential. Jarak village in Wonosalam is one of the villages in East Java that has these tourism potential, besides the religious harmony between the dwellers that initiates the construction of a tourism hall with the concept of sustainability. The hall reflects the harmony between man and nature. The tourism hall uses the kinetic panels from recycled compact discs as the facade, which is rotatable when blown by the wind. This research is meant to study people’s perception of the installed kinetic facade panel. Here, we divide the respondents into two groups, professionals (academician and architects), and non professionals (Jarak dwellers, visitors and general). The aspects observed are psychology, aesthetics, flexibility, impact to the environment and economics. The result is that there is a difference in perception regarding the flexibility, and also, the colour aspect of the installed kinetic facade is the most memorable aspect of the installed kinetic facade.

“…However, this confronts the life cycle assessment method with new challenges in dealing with a large number of variants and the extensive interactions between design and influences on parameters in the use phase, such as energy consumption or service life. [23]. Dies führt in einem weiteren Schritt dazu, dass der Technikschacht, der einmal vertikal durch alle Stockwerke reicht, in der Größe reduziert werden kann.…”

“…Dies führt in einem weiteren Schritt dazu, dass der Technikschacht, der einmal vertikal durch alle Stockwerke reicht, in der Größe reduziert werden kann. Dies vergrößert die verfügbaren nutzbaren Flächen und erhöht somit den Flächennutzungsgrad des Gebäudes um etwa 4 % [23]. Weiterhin entfällt ein Großteil der für die Lüftungskanäle benötigten abgehängten Deckenhöhen, was eine Verringerung der Gebäudehöhe um etwa 10 % ermöglicht und so -bei gleicher Gesamthöhe des Gebäudes -knapp ein gesamtes weiteres Stockwerk freigibt.…”

Ökobilanzierung adaptiver Hüllen und Strukturen

Die Bilanzierung von Umweltwirkungen spielt eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Entwicklung nachhaltiger und umweltfreundlicher Technologien und Konzepte. Dies gilt auch in der Entwicklung von Gebäuden mit adaptiven Hüllen und Strukturen und stellt darüber hinaus weitreichende Anforderungen an alle beteiligten Disziplinen. Die vollständige Integration der Ökobilanzierung in den Planungs‐ und Auslegungsprozess ermöglicht, Umweltwirkungen als Optimierungsgrößen in den komplexen, dynamischen Berechnungswerkzeugen einzusetzen. Die bisherigen Ergebnisse des SFB 1244 bescheinigen adaptiven Tragwerken und Fassaden großes Potenzial zur Einsparung von Ressourcen und Umweltwirkungen. Die ganzheitliche Betrachtungsweise, sowohl in Bezug auf den Lebenszyklus als auch auf die interdisziplinären Wechselwirkungen, stellt sicher, dass die relevanten Effekte und Einflüsse in der Bilanzierung berücksichtigt werden. Das stellt die Methode der Ökobilanzierung selbst jedoch vor neue Herausforderungen im Umgang mit einer Vielzahl an Varianten und den umfangreichen Wechselwirkungen zwischen Auslegung und Einflüssen auf Parameter in der Nutzungsphase, wie z. B. den Energieverbrauch oder die Lebensdauer.

“…At this point, only goals that can primarily be achieved by the AF are considered. Secondary effects such as reduced environmental impacts in the construction, as presented by Borschewski et al (2023), are not considered here. Depending on the goal of the adaption, the AF behavior is designed to fulfill different adaptive functions.…”

Adaptive façades (AF) present a promising approach to reduce environmental impacts in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction sector. However, the automatization of the façade produces new challenges as the complexity of the system increases. To support the early phase of interdisciplinary development, solution collections such as databases are helpful. Previous research identified that existing solution collections of AF do not meet the requirements that such a method demands. In the effort to develop an optimized database, this paper investigates how the state of the art can be structured in terms of content in order to present it in the database. Here, a set of design parameters is developed based on identified requirements and on the main characteristics of AF that were previously elaborated. This set offers a comprehensive perspective on the previously realized functions and mechanisms of AF and can also contribute to finding creative solutions in the form of new concepts by combining the design parameters in new ways. Finally, 40 case studies of previously implemented adaptive façades are used to evaluate the set of design parameters.
