Abstract
This study adopted a selective and simulative as multidisciplinary methodology for applying and merging material characteristics with architecture design and simulation analysis. It aimed to optimize the building envelope for energy-saving purposes by collecting previous studies on building adaptation, performance, and energy reduction. The researchers created a system and road map to control building energy consumption by comparing different material specifications and characteristics in simulative models. A BIM model was simulated using Energy Plus software to analyze the energy-saving potential of different materials. After applying the simulation results to a pilot project, the researchers were able to select the best envelope material for improving building performance. Additionally, the study highlighted the importance of considering the building’s location and orientation when selecting the appropriate glass type. Finally, the integration of smart glass into building envelopes presents a promising solution for achieving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions in the built environment. The implementation of smart glass in the envelopes of buildings has the potential to bring about a paradigm shift in the way that we design and build structures , providing a sustainable and energy-efficient solution for the built environment. This study emphasizes the importance of considering the behavior of materials in building envelope design and suggests that incorporating smart materials can bring significant benefits. The DSE-ASM System allows for the design and analysis of building envelopes with various smart materials, making it a valuable tool for building designers and owners. By considering the use of smart materials in building envelope design, designers and owners can improve the overall performance of their buildings, while also creating a healthier and more comfortable environment for occupants. The use of smart materials in building envelopes has the potential to save energy and benefit the environment, but there is still much to understand about their long-term performance and maintenance costs. To ensure safe and effective use, standards and guidelines must be developed. Real-world examples have demonstrated durability and potential energy savings over time, and the economic feasibility of implementing smart materials must also be analyzed. Collaboration between industry professionals, researchers, and policymakers is necessary for the successful development and adoption of these materials in building design and construction.
