The Emergence of Smart Facades
The rising popularity of smart facades owes much to the advancements in building automation and the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT). Smart facades are designed to adapt to changing weather conditions, regulate temperature and lighting, and enhance energy efficiency. These innovative facades can be programmed to cater to the needs of occupants, such as adjusting lighting levels or controlling window openings. For instance, implementing smart glass panels empowers users to manage daylight and solar heat actively, augmenting occupant comfort while significantly reducing energy consumption.
