What are some examples of smart facade designs?

1. Kinetic Facades: These facades feature moveable screens or panels that respond to changing weather conditions or daylight levels.

2. Solar Facades: Solar cells are integrated into the facade cladding or glazing to generate electricity.

3. Double-Skin Facades: These facades feature two layers of glazing with an air gap in between, providing thermal insulation and noise reduction.

4. Green Facades: Vegetation is grown on a vertical surface or wall to increase biodiversity, provide shading and improve air quality.

5. Interactive Facades: These facades use sensors and technology to interact with occupants or passersby, creating a dynamic and engaging experience.

6. Bioclimatic Facades: These facades are designed to respond to the microclimate of the building site, naturally regulating temperature and humidity levels.

7. Dynamic Glazing Facades: These facades feature a switchable glass or film that can change its tint or opacity to regulate incoming sunlight and glare levels.
