Abstract
Diagonally arranged louvers in integrated facade systems - effects on the interior lighting environment
Highlights
In recent years, it has become increasingly important to replace buildings, and to renovate and improve the performance of the existing building stock
While changing the appearance of existing buildings, the appropriate reconstruction of facades in the refurbishment of existing buildings can be expected to offer improved building functionality including the reduction of environmental impacts
As the facade is an important part of a building in shaping the urban landscape and influencing the energy consumption of the building, it is essential to optimize the integrated design of the components used for anti-seismic reinforcement on the facade
Summary
It has become increasingly important to replace buildings, and to renovate and improve the performance of the existing building stock. Approaches that improve building functionality when upgrading will be more important in future from the perspectives of reducing environmental impact and the continuing use of existing buildings. In many seismic retrofitting cases, reinforcing elements such as steel braces are installed on the outside of the building as it is appropriate to focus on the building’s exterior skin when installing earthquake resistance elements. These reinforcing elements are often not designed in relation to the facade, resulting in poor aesthetic form and a situation contrary to the improvement of environmental functionality and better building stock. As the facade is an important part of a building in shaping the urban landscape and influencing the energy consumption of the building, it is essential to optimize the integrated design of the components used for anti-seismic reinforcement on the facade
