This monograph presents the latest research developments of
innovative building envelope systems. These systems have the
ability to allow building structures responsive to changes in
outdoor conditions to ensure comfortable indoor environment at
higher energy efficiency compared to conventional systems. In
particular, the monograph overviews the basic operation principles
and thermal performance of four technologies described in three
chapters: (i) dynamic insulation materials that can change its
thermal properties in order to better adapt the building envelope
with its outdoor environment and reduce building heating and
cooling thermal loads, (ii) variable reflectance coatings for
application on roofs to lower and even eliminate the energy
penalties associated with reduced solar heat gains during heating
operation of buildings, (iii) single layer breathing walls to
recover wasted from heat transmission inside the walls and provide
air ventilation to indoor spaces, and (iv) multi-layer living walls
to adapt using biomimetric principles and phase-change materials to
adapt with the changing outdoor conditions.
