Description
This workshop will teach you to parametrically design and analyze kinetic facades to improve energy performance and indoor thermal comfort. A case study will teach you to examine and evaluates the effect of facade panel shading dynamics on indoor thermal comfort and energy efficiency. Control of solar radiation will be done by calculating the size and movement of a modular unit of the shading panel in response to environmental changes. Semi-transparent photovoltaic (PV) panels will be studied as a panel material for shading and energy generation. The live workflow demonstration will be performed by simulation of the building with integrated shading devices using a GECO-Grasshopper (parametric extension for Rhinoceros) workflow.
