Abstract
The building envelope is one of the most important design parameters for determining how the indoor physical environment relates to thermal comfort, visual comfort, and even occupants’ working productivity. Thus, the building envelope significantly affects the energy usage of a building. Kinetic envelope is a notion proposed in this research to increase energy efficiency measures. Energy crisis and environmental pollution C02 lead architects to developing structurally very complex, but energy efficient systems. The Zero Carbon Buildings for all initiatives, launched in 2019 at the United Nations Climate Action Summit, aim to develop decarburization roadmaps for buildings with the objective of operating zero emission buildings. In this sustainable built environment program, there is promotion toward the integration of proven renewable energy technologies with the building for various applications such as water heating, heating/cooling and electricity production. The operational energy use in the building is of growing importance all over the world. In hot dry climates excessive solar gain may result in high cooling energy consumption and indoor discomfort. Sun control and shading devices is an important aspect of many energy-efficient building design strategies. Innovative kinetic building envelopes are more adaptive and interactive by actively responding to prevailing climatic conditions for enhancing energy performance and indoor comfort levels. This research reviews representative systems or designs grouped as solar-responsive systems, Airflow- responsive systems and other natural sources responsive systems, along with some useful remarks concluded from the available literature and designs. The research is on the building Integrated Photovoltaic with the ability to be kinetic rather than separated static PV panels on buildings. The research will discuss the concept and the importance of kinetic architecture according to their climate impacts and energy performance. It will highlight the history of kinetic architecture, considerations of kinetic systems in buildings and renewable energy types. Moreover, the research will analyze examples of buildings with kinetic architecture with automated control systems and its effect on the building environment. At the end, the research tries to demonstrate if these kinetic systems and strategies could be applicable on the buildings in Egypt.
