Conference full papers:

In Colombia the last five years the average annual demand for air conditioning increased by 73%. One strategy to increase thermal comfort and reduce the use of cooling systems and energy consumption in buildings is the use of kinetic envelopes as an active response system to changes in the environment. However, there is little literature analyzing their performance and effects on buildings. This research analyses the operation of different envelope systems through digital modelling and simulation of environmental conditions. The aim is to generate a set of defined advantages in the use of kinetic envelopes for the context in the Caribbean region in Colombia.
