Mr. Acconci said that a perfectly faithful restoration was not an option because Supra-Board, the original facade material, is no longer available.
It allows simultaneous and continuous measurements of the reference wind speed and direction, WDR intensity, outdoor air temperature and humidity, as well as the response of facade material samples to these environmental conditions.
Plan the installation based facade material.
Building setbacks, the proportion of towers to their bases, the angle of the rooftops, facade materials, paving and landscaping, the width of sidewalks, even the color and typography of signs -- are all covered by the proposed guidelines.
The building simulation results for a typical residential building in Singapore indicated that the U-value of facade materials for north and south orientations should be less than 2.5 W/m2 K and the U-value of facade materials for north and south orientations should be less than 2 W/m2 K.
Properties of facade materials should be considered to determine which of them strongly affect building energy performance, regardless of the building shapes, scales, ideal locations, and building types, and thus may be able to promote energy efficiency in buildings.
The technologies considered within the scope of this research are mainly renewable and sustainable based solutions such as photovoltaic (PV) modules, solar thermal (T) collectors, hybrid PV/T collectors and systems, phase change material (PCM) and underground based heat storage techniques, energy-efficient heat pumps, alternative facade materials for better thermal insulation and power generation.
The paper concerns the role of cellulose reinforcements in overall mechanical toughness of fiber concrete panels applied as facade building material.
No guidelines for efficient use of aluminium in a curtain wall have been published, and architects therefore have not known the impact that their decisions have upon the facade's material content.
In order to improve living environment for the villages in Tibetan areas of Yunnan, this paper takes Shangri-La's wooden architecture as research objects, analyses the site selection, plane layout, facade design, building materials and fabric detail of traditional rural housing by investigation.
As such, they are generally inflexible for use as a facade or cladding material on curved or shaped buildings.
