Project Conclusion
|
• Dynamic facades are relatively new technology, and so they are difficult to model on current software. As such we were able to develop a new methodology
to simulate dynamic facades using ESP-r.
• Initial methodology could be improved further by investigating lighting control. Also, combining dynamic shading and smart glazing using our methodology could also be investigated. • After investigating the case study, we concluded that a balance of human comfort, energy saving and cost effectiveness is necessary. • The results are specific for this case study and a corresponding analysis should be conducted for different cases (e.g. different climates/ locations/ building types). |

As part of the team's Sustainable Engineering course and in association with ''Engage with Strathclyde'', the group presented their findings from the project at a presentation on the 5th May 2015 at the Technology and Innovation Centre on the University of Strathclyde campus in Glasgow. The slides from this presentation can be viewed by opening the attached file.
