Phase Change Materials in Transparent Building Envelopes: A Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) Analysis
Vigna, Ilaria; Bianco, Lorenza; Goia, Francesco; Serra, Valentina (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Building envelopes can play a crucial role in building improvement efficiency, and the adoption of Phase Change Materials (PCMs), coupled with transparent elements, may: (i) allow a better control of the heat flows from/to ... -
Responsive glazing systems: Characterisation methods and winter performance
Bianco, Lorenza; Cascone, Ylenia; Goia, Francesco; Perino, Marco; Serra, Valentina (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Responsive envelope components are promising technologies for improving the energy and indoor comfort performance of buildings. As far as the transparent envelope is concerned, several experimental and numerical researches ... -
Responsive glazing systems: Characterisation methods, summer performance and implications on thermal comfort
Bianco, Lorenza; Cascone, Ylenia; Goia, Francesco; Perino, Marco; Serra, Valentina (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In recent years, there have been several experimental and numerical researches on transparent envelope components that integrate phase change materials (PCMs). To address some of the drawbacks of these systems, new prototypes ... -
Simulating Switchable Glazing with EnergyPlus: An Empirical Validation and Calibration of a Thermotropic Glazing Model
Favoino, Fabio; Cascone, Ylenia; Bianco, Lorenza; Goia, Francesco; Zinzi, Michele; Overend, Mauro; Serra, Valentina; Perino, Marco (Chapter, 2015)Adaptive transparent building envelope technologies could play a significant role in decreasing energy use in buildings and providing a more comfortable indoor environment. In order to evaluate these potentials in an ... -
Thermal and optical properties of a thermotropic glass pane: Laboratory and in-field characterization
Bianco, Lorenza; Goia, Francesco; Serra, Valentina; Zinzi, Michele (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Switchable windows are glazing technologies that exhibit dynamic optical properties and may thus be used to improve the energy performance of buildings. A window system based on a thermotropic glass pane was tested both ... -
Towards New Metrics for the Characterisation of the Dynamic Performance of Adaptive Façade Systems
Bianco, Lorenza; Cascone, Ylenia; Avesani, Stefano; Vullo, Pascal; Bejat, Timea; Koenders, Stefan; Loonen, Roel C.G.M; Goia, Francesco; Serra, Valentina; Favoino, Fabio (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Traditional façade characterisation metrics such as U-value and g-value are of limited value in the design process of buildings with adaptive façades. This issue is particularly important for adaptive façade components ...
