On the face of it, building fa?ades simply provide a barrier to protect occupants from outside weather conditions, helping to keep the inside space at a comfortable temperature and providing daylight. However, from an energy and environmental design perspective, fa?ades can be highly complex systems. Today's design standards require that they balance and optimize a wide range of often-conflicting considerations including daylight, shading, acoustics, solar gains, thermal insulation, ventilation, and even electricity generation.
In this webinar, we will discuss various simple and complex fa?ade systems and show you how to model their performance in DesignBuilder EnergyPlus. The webinar will cover:
* Fa?ade systems and integrated fa?ade design requirements.
* Modeling of simple facades with glazing, shading and vents.
* Dynamic shading, airflow control windows, and dynamic glazing including thermochromic windows and Saint-Gobain's electrochromic SageGlass systems.
* Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPVs), Double Skins, and other advanced facades.
