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.
