Multi-Functional Building Envelopes: Key Properties, State-of-the-Art Technologies and Visions for the Future

Published: Jan 1, 2012
Abstract
A broad and original definition of the building envelope is given as a shelter aiming at controlling various fluxes in the building. This paper reviews the underlying key properties ruling the phenomena enabling the completion of the multiple functions ascribed to the building envelope. The functions of flux control are emphasized. Indeed the thermal conductivity of a material, thermal inertia of buildings, transmittances of a window, solar...
