An evaluation method to include complex fenestration systems in the Façade design process

Abstract

This research aims to improve the passive redirecting Complex Fenestration Systems (CFS) design process to be incorporated into the early building design stages. This is proposed in a framework that assists the building designer in designing new CFS suitable for buildings, which are encouraged in the early design phase. The research contributes to understanding CFS design and the effect of external and climatic parameters on the final CFS design. The research contributes to enhancing the CFS design process, enhancing the indoor environmental quality within the built environment and potentially decreasing the operational energy costs within the built space.
