Coupling optimization study of key influencing factors on PCM trombe wall for year thermal management
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an environment-interactive novel Trombe wall system, which was a passive building envelope integrated with phase change material (PCM) based on traditional Trombbe wall.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the impact of automatic shading control scenarios on occupant’s comfort and energy load
TL;DR: This paper aims to compare the most used control functions and their implications on user comfort and energy load in different climate zones using EnergyPlus as a simulation platform and results showed that climatic conditions impact the shading control scenario significantly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ten questions concerning co-simulation for performance prediction of advanced building envelopes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a critical overview of the possibilities that co-simulation approaches offer to improve performance assessments of advanced building envelopes, and present current barriers to cosimulation and discusses critical elements to overcome them.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of occupant-centric control strategies for adaptive facades
TL;DR: As a major finding, occupant-centric control is limited to certain applications, which imposes thinking of a new innovative shading control strategy that counterbalances antagonistic phenomena and can enhance both user's comfort desires and building's energy efficiency especially in a shared working environment.

Automated blind control based on glare prevention with dimmable light in open-plan offices
TL;DR: In this article, a glare prevention control is proposed whereby the slat angle is repeatedly altered until the glare degree is calculated to be less than the glare index limit, which is suitable for offices using partitions that block light from the windows.

The impact of daylight fluctuation on a daylight dimming control system in a small office
Sooyoung Kim,Jong Jin Kim +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the variation of daylight under clear and partly cloudy sky conditions was analyzed to examine the fluctuation of electric light controlled by a daylight dimming control system, and it was found that partial shielding of photosensors is a desirable strategy for reducing the fluctuations of light output from electric lights integrated with daylight lighting control systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
A personalized daylighting control approach to dynamically optimize visual satisfaction and lighting energy use
TL;DR: A new way to apply the multi-objective optimization without assigning arbitrary weights to objectives is presented, allowing occupants to be the final decision makers in real-time balancing between their personalized visual satisfaction and energy use considerations, within dynamic hidden optimal bounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental assessment of an integrated adaptive system for the improvement of indoor visual comfort of existing buildings
TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated adaptive system consisting of individual movable modules for the improvement of indoor environmental conditions was proposed and evaluated by means of a natural lighting analysis simulation using Ecotect v5.2 and Desktop Radiance v1.02.
Kinetic facades: towards design for environmental performance
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the concept of kinetic facades as alternative building envelopes, designed to meet the increasing of varying and complex demands related to user comfort, energy consumption and cost efficiency.
