Passive seasonally responsive thermal actuators for dynamic building envelopes
It is desirable for a glazed façade to have a variable performance to moderate a building’s energy-balance from seasonal variations in solar gains (Davies, 1981). A novel actuator mechanism is developed that self-regulates a façade by physically reconfiguring its movable elements into different envi...
