Abstract
This study focuses on the control method of an adaptive façade based on the combination of energy conservation and glare protection strategies. Two evaluation methods are applied. The first method is to determine the appropriate range of the shading states which allow a minimum amount of solar heat gain and lighting energy requirements in the passive zone. The second method is to determine the appropriate range of the shading states which protect discomfort glare. Finally, the hourly optimal shading state can be determined through the two evaluation methods. In the application, the hourly shading state of a dynamic folding system, which can fully close and open in the two directions, is derived and evaluated. The results of the evaluation showed that the optimal control method suggested in this study can deliver effective energy performance while avoiding discomfort glare.
