Active, Passive and Cyber-Physical Adaptive Façade Strategies

In view of the required energy savings in building sector, there is an urgent need for innovative and sustainable solutions to increase performance envelopes. Adaptive façades can make important contribution, whereby passive low-tech strategies active high-tech are apparently incompatible. current digitalization, new technologies methods implementation adaptive emerge framework Cyber-Physical Systems. The investigation follows research question: How approaches be mediated what potential do Systems have hybrid solution future? article presents a comparative case study two projects ADAPTEX PRÄKLIMA as examples adaptation façade industry. this context, further application domain catalyst high-performance multifunctional solutions, mediator between both strategies, highlighted. main findings cyber-physical system design monitoring well possible integration passively conceptualized components into overall systems.
