Ambient Façades

چکیده
Public spaces get increasingly equipped with displays in terms of shopping window plasma screens, electronic advertisements at the point of sale, kiosk systems at points of interest, etc. While this trend enables numerous applications in the pervasive display systems domain, it also has effects on how people perceive urban environments. In this work we describe the concept, implementation and first experiences from a real life setup of an ambient façades framework expanding the idea of public displays to façades of arbitrary buildings without modifications on the buildings themselves. With such a framework it is possible to integrate information into buildings in a very unobtrusive way and without interference with the building fabric.

Wind Tunnel Assessment of the Wind Velocity Distribution on Vertical Façades
Building integrated photovoltaic/thermal (BIPV/T) systems serve two purposes – generate electricity and heat ambient air using absorbed solar energy. High wind velocity reduces the efficiency of unglazed transpired solar collectors (UTC). Indeed, wind flow on the collector’s surface reduces the useful heat transferred to the plenum air by effectuating convection losses and suction in the pores;...
متن کاملRepresentation of complex façades using typed graphs
In this paper we present a method for representing complex façades. For this purpose we developed a hierarchical decomposition for the façade. The steps of the decomposition are represented as nodes in a typed graph where the leaves are the atomic façade elements. Every node includes necessary attributes for its façade structure. The edges in the graph depict adjacent façade elements providing ...

The challenge of developing adaptive, responsive low-energy architecture requires new knowledge about the complex and dynamic interaction between envelope architecture, optimization between competing environmental performance metrics (light, heat and wind indices) and local climate variables. Advances in modeling the geometry of building envelopes and control technologies for adaptive buildings...
متن کاملAnalysis of the façades surface temperatures – Artificial Neural Networks application
In this line of research, Caram de Assis (2002) traces a study on the values of transmission for diverse glass types. The glasses that presented the biggest superficial temperatures, as the term-absorbents, act as “radiators”, decreasing the air temperature in the interior of the prototypes. However, the colorless glass showed that temperature increases less with the sun incidence but the insid...
متن کاملSurvey of the Relationship Between Obesity Prevalence and Ambient Temperature: A Systematic Review
Introduction: Ambient temperature is considered as a factor affecting on the body's metabolism, So that increase or decrease ambient temperature to the range thermoneutral zone (TNZ) (This temperature is 20.3°C to 23°C for covered people) lead to body metabolic changes, and maybe effective on the increase or reduce the prevalence of obesity. Our aim of this study was to review ...
