A sample of a design criteria assessment for the performance of adaptative façade systems
| Criteria | Objectives | Behavior/Action | Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Embodied energy and CO2 emission | Energy efficiency and environment | Integration of active and passive technologies | Reduced operational energy |
| Sustainability | Maintenance and life cycle | Minimizing operational maintenance | Reduced life cycle costs |
| Energy saving | Energy efficiency and environment | Optimization of heating and cooling loads | Reduced energy consumption |
| Daylight | Performance-related functions | Maintaining the stability between daylight collecting and maximizing outdoor view | Reduced visual discomfort and energy load of building |
| Operation maintenance | Maintenance and life cycle | Ensuring smart and predictive maintenance | Low-cost and vigorous performance |
| Thermal comfort | Indoor comfort conditions | Controlling solar radiation and maintaining comfortable operative temperatures | Ensured comfort level of indoor environment |
| Automation | Adaptivity | Reacting dynamically and automatically to environmental conditions | Automated and adaptive façade operations |
| Ventilation | Performance-related functions | Regulating vigorously the air-flow intake under suitable weather conditions | Utilized low energy or passive components to minimize energy loads |
| Cleaning | Maintenance and life cycle | Active biomaterials acting as interfaces between outside settings and interior comfort | Balanced and coordinated self-clean and self-heal |
| Renewable energy | Energy efficiency and environment | Constantly and proactively responding to outdoor and indoor environment conditions | Enabled and improved utilization of renewable and low energy sources |
| Visual comfort | Indoor comfort conditions | Optimization of natural lighting performance and the reduction of glare problems | Enhanced lighting levels and visibility to the outer environment |
