Could ‘smart’ building facades heat and cool buildings? 0 dbarista Tue, 06/18/2024 - 15:58 Building Technology A promising research project looks at the possibilities for thermoelectric systems to thermally condition buildings, writes Mahsa Farid Mohajer, Sustainable Building Analyst with Stantec.
Visitors will find it particularly easy to navigate the showfloor this year, thanks to the dedicated Technology Zones that group together exhibitors in major technology areas.
With over 700 exhibitors already committed, with brands including Crestron, KNX, LG, Panasonic, Samsung, and Sony to name just a few, the show floor has been redesigned and will also feature a brand-new Discovery Zone, highlighting 40 new companies exhibiting for the first time.
Even slight rotations in building orientation can reduce cooling costs by 20-30%. Thermal zoning further enhances efficiency by placing frequently used spaces in warmer, sunlit areas while keeping storage and garages in cooler sections. Innovative developments further refine smart climate control.

Its structure is also designed to last for at least 100 years before needing refurbishment.
Green building approaches often promote placing construction projects in areas with minimal environmental imprint while considering the occupants’ public transportation proximity, green space accessibility, and staying away from sensitive ecological zones.
Designed for flexibility and community, the building integrates sustainable materials, solar power storage, and rainwater harvesting. With smartbuilding technologies and a nearly zero carbon footprint. Zoning is one of the first stages in this process. Weitblick Innovation Campus by Sehw Architektur , Augsburg, Germany.
It incorporates a photovoltaic facade, rainwater management, geothermal heating and cooling (30%-40% cooling / 70% heating), smartbuilding management, demand-based air conditioning and LED lighting, energy recuperating elevators, e-charging stations with intelligent load management and green and open work environments.
Possible layouts range from individual offices to combi-offices with a central zone, to open-plan offices or state-of-the-art office landscapes with very different working atmospheres. Additional communication zones at the staircases offer meeting areas for colleagues or a place of retreat for confidential conversations.
For example, as hotels look to curating elegant spaces for guests, opportunities arise for energy savings in guest bedrooms using smartbuilding controls. There is an increasing opportunity to create systems that allow a guest’s smart device or room key to help regulate temperatures for energy savings.
Known for its elegant and innovative designs , the pioneering firm harnesses hybrid sustainable materials and smartbuilding systems. This elegant complex includes rehearsal spaces and public zones in addition to a central performance area, celebrating the sense in which theatre is a community.
Inside, the building is divided into two wings. One houses the Beeah Group's public and management departments while the other contains the administrative zone. These areas are connected by a central courtyard, described by Zaha Hadid Architects as an "oasis within the building" that helps provide natural ventilation.
