Abstract
Dynamic solar screens are operable façade shading systems with perforations that are designed using parametric processes. Architects and facade designers have continually applied design patterns of aesthetically and culturally significant vernacular solar screens for creating contemporary facades in their static-fixed or dynamic-operable states. The purpose of this investigation is to review previous work on dynamic screens and related façade shading, identify research gaps, highlight methodological limitations, and propose future investigation of their unexplored impacts. Solar screens investigated in previous studies were categorized into different types for meta-analysis of their building energy and indoor environmental performance in tropical climates. Several gaps related to the influence of dynamic screens on occupant’s comfort in the indoor environment were identified. Realizing the importance of keeping occupant wellness at the top priority in building design, the authors have proposed a set of hypotheses that describe approaches to investigate and design dynamic screens for occupant well-being.
期刊介绍:
Founded at the University of Sydney in 1958 by Professor Henry Cowan to promote continued professional development, Architectural Science Review presents a balanced collection of papers on a wide range of topics. From its first issue over 50 years ago the journal documents the profession’s interest in environmental issues, covering topics such as thermal comfort, lighting, and sustainable architecture, contributing to this extensive field of knowledge by seeking papers from a broad geographical area. The journal is supported by an international editorial advisory board of the leading international academics and its reputation has increased globally with individual and institutional subscribers and contributors from around the world. As a result, Architectural Science Review continues to be recognised as not only one of the first, but the leading journal devoted to architectural science, technology and the built environment. Architectural Science Review publishes original research papers, shorter research notes, and abstracts of PhD dissertations and theses in all areas of architectural science including: -building science and technology -environmental sustainability -structures and materials -audio and acoustics -illumination -thermal systems -building physics -building services -building climatology -building economics -ergonomics -history and theory of architectural science -the social sciences of architecture
