Abstract
Climate adaptive building shells contribute to improving building energy performance and occupant's comfort needs by using control strategies. Climate adaptive building shells carry out the adaptation efficiently thanks to the mechanisms consisting of sensors, processors and actuators systematically participated in decision-making process. In this article, it is aimed to examine the strategies that contribute to the efficient operation of the elements and components controlled by the strategies in the context of climate adaptive buildings. In addition, it is aimed to develop a conceptual framework of hybrid control strategy based on measured data, weather forecast data and received data based on time pattern. The methodology of this paper is to review existing literature on climate adaptive building shells and adaptation mechanism via developing a conceptual framework for a hybrid control strategy for occupant's comfort and energy efficiency. It is structured to provide a framework for examining design and management principles and their relationships between elements and components. The contribution of this study is to evaluate the design and potentials of the adaptation mechanisms and control strategies in the context of climate adaptive architecture. By using more efficient control systems and mechanism, sustainability related to energy conservation of the building can be enhanced.
Highlights
An occupant-centered contemporary design approach that contributes to sustainability is described as adaptive architecture. [1,2,3,4]
Climate adaptive building shells can be defined as the building layer that plays a prominent role between indoor and outdoor by providing comfort conditions by using active and passive systems [5,8,30]
Adaptive building shells using optimization-oriented decision-making systems, smart materials, innovative details, and other technological approaches contribute to the sustainability of buildings
Summary
An occupant-centered contemporary design approach that contributes to sustainability is described as adaptive architecture. [1,2,3,4]. CABS, which can respond according to environmental and climatic factors, increase occupants’ comfort, ensure the building is performative, reduce the operating costs of the building, and can be seen as an important solution to prolong the life of the components of the building [15,16]. In all these aspects, it can be argued that they have advantages compared to static building shells [13,16,17]. Improving the comfort conditions, evaluating the indoor and outdoor climatic and environmental changes, and designing buildings that react to these changes can be observed as the motivations of the preferability of CABS [11,30]
