Solar Shading and Intelligent Facades Conference (BRE, Watford, UK, 29 September 2011).
Dynamic shading systems and ventilated facade systems require coordination between disciplines and often specialist advice is required throughout the design process. Performance characterisation is not straightforward and needs to account for the behaviour and preferences of the end users, i.e. the occupants. In this video, Dr Kragh provides an overview of different types of facades and shading systems, while the design process and approaches to performance assessment and specification are illustrated through examples.
