"International Facades - CROFT" (B&W paperback) links the
fields of architecture, building services and building physics. It
aims at an international diversity in facade design to reduce
energy consumption in building design. Current architectural
planning practices, such as the International Style, perceive the
climate often as a problem, rather than an opportunity to work with
it. This doctoral thesis presents a "Facade Expert Tool" (FET) that
analyses the climate and the combination of the facade and building
services. The goal of FET is to easily analyse the climate of a
particular location and to then limit the possible combination of
facade and building services components to a practical level.
Through FET Marcel Bilow has developed "Climate Responsive
Optimised Facade Technologies" (CROFT). CROFT demonstrates the
potential for sustainable building operation through the use new
technologies that respond to the requirements posed on facades in
climate zones as divers as those found in Moscow, Singapore, Berlin
and Dubai.
