Pneumatic Modular System as Adaptive Skin to Enhance Daylighting and energy efficiency in Workspace

Abstract

Global warming and climate change are bringing disasters to mankind according to all the recent studies. The office building sector is a great contributor to energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions which makes it a crucial matter to consider energy efficiency related to the building sector. Considering energy efficiency in buildings and sustainability factors will result in significant energy reduction, environmental savings and greenhouse gas emissions reduction. The building envelope influences the building energy demand greatly, windows are important components of any building envelope contributing to daylighting mainly and thermal transfer partially.The research focuses on the office building design fascade with a pneumatic modular system as adaptive to enhance daylighting and energy consumption by putting guidelines to the designer to use this system well in the office building, the research focuses to analyse two case studies with three stages to achieve the effect of pneumatic modular fascade in the office building.
