Model of Building Envelope Towards Energy Efficiency and Adaptability as the Architectural Approach

Abstract

In this article we will look beyond the definition of "building envelope" as taken from the dictionary, we will try to consider this concept not only as a set of elements – bricks, glasses, compounds, materials, sized and executed after hundreds of calculations, not only as "Clothing" but as a critical review of the shaping factor. A model of building envelope can be used to analyse the basic parameters as energy efficiency and adaptability. How to design sustainable building envelopes and enhance the overall building energy performance through aesthetics and structural principles is a major aspect of the contemporary architectural design process. The building envelope could not be analysed only as a unique component but an integral element of while system with considerable importance regarding the building’s appearance. It should provide additional functions such as loadbearing capacity, active or passive microclimate control and individual aesthetic expression.
