Abstract
Reductions in building energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions are two of the most crucial challenges facing the building industry. Nowadays, energy performance of building deserves big attention, especially its envelop. The need for adaptive buildings to their environment has long been subject to a number of research projects. Adaptive Buildings, called intelligent buildings, represent a relevant opportunity to reduce the energy loads while improving the environmental quality. This paper presents a building performance simulation results performed to evaluate the potential of using the adaptive façade (AF) concept, in the reduction of energy loads, in a semi arid climate, Within (Pleiades+comfie) simulation software. A first quantification is provided. The results showed that the concept of the (AF) provide opportunities to solve the overheating problems of highly glazed buildings, and to reduce the energy use in the hot season.
