Strategie di risparmio energetico. Energy saving strategies

A new generation of multi-functional, adaptive and dynamic facades was developed in the framework of the research project XX to respond to the EU Directive 2002/91 and to the energy standard of the Chinese Government. The aim is to build novel adaptive envelope systems for nZEB to facilitate the exploitation of RES at building scale and simultaneously improve indoor environmental quality both in existing and new buildings. The project focuses on the design, testing and construction of innovative technological systems capable of integrating energy saving smart materials and novel technologies, for buildings located in the Chinese clime. The Double Skin Facade presented in this paper was designed to be preassembled, modular and adaptive.
