This paper proposes a novel concept and practice to engage
the BIM model as a control system of building energy performance
service. This issue can be divided into two sub-issues including the
development of more eco-friendly façade which can interact with its
local environment, and the related active control system which can
process the environmental parameters for eco-friendly actions. This
research designs the Parametric Adaptive Skin System (PASS) to engage
the adaption of natural sunlight use for higher building performance.
PASS consists of kinetic façade components dominated by the
BIM-based parametric engine called Dynamo. The PASS prototype
demonstrates that the workflows is successful in using a real light sensor
plus simulated solar terms to drive the interaction of virtual Revit
model and physical PASS model.
