Improving Facade Designs Comparing Automated vs Manual Solar Shading

This course will provide an understanding of innovative design trends including current market drivers, comparing high performance glass vs. high performance shading and how to increase visual and thermal comfort by automating the balance of natural and artificial light. This course will build the connection between current design trends influence on building performance using automated facades. We will discuss design strategies using automated solar management and its impact on these design trends.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• Understand automation of building envelopes using innovative and sustainable design strategies.
• Identify value added opportunities of automating natural and artificial light in building system integration.
• Evaluate construction market sustainability drivers including LEED and WELL and how they influence the project planning and design.
• Relate sustainable building design with the benefits of automation by balancing energy efficiency and occupant comfort requirements.
