Dynamic Façade: Definition “Also known as responsive facades. They exhibit an ability to comprehend and learn from their surroundings, adjusting behaviour accordingly. The building skin is not inert, but transforms dynamically to regulate the internal environment, reducing its power demands. Ideally they include methods for generating energy.” The facade’s adaptability is based on the change of properties or behavior at a macro or micro scale. Macro scale: changes in the facade configuration via moving parts (e.g. shading devices). Micro scale: changes directly affect the structure of a material like thermo physical or opaque optical properties (e.g. smart glazing, PCM’s etc.). 3
