Facade engineering and design is a challenging task that requires the optimal consideration and addressing of multidisciplinary issues and aspects. Over the past 15 years, facades have become increasingly complex, with dynamic and smart facades ability to adapt to changing temperature and lighting conditions. Newly developed materials and technologies have broadened the scope of facade functions. This book presents a selection of research contributions to provide a comprehensive overview of facade design, focusing on material analysis, strategies, and approaches for energy-efficient facades based on scientific sustainable principles, as well as high-performance requirements such as fire risk and heat transfer, and environmental design and process methodologies. Contributions focus on the development of new strategies for maintaining and designing traditional facades, as well as the optimal application of new technologies for modern adaptive facades and building envelopes.
