    7. fatade inteligente

    The word intelligentindicates the dynamic, almost living capability

    of a faade to adapt to changing daily or seasonal conditions in orderto achieve a reduction in a buildings consumption of primary energy.

    A glass faade can only then be properly described as intelligentwhen it makes use of natural, renewable energy sources, such assolar energy, air flows or the ground heat source, to secure a

    buildings requirements in terms of heating, cooling and lighting.

    For energy-saving measures to be used efficiently, this means that

    overall energy concepts need to be developed during the designstage, to achieve an effective interaction between the faade, the

    environment and the building systems.

    Fatade simple

    The entrance hall of the Leipzig exhibition (by Gerkan Marg Partner with Ian RitchieArchitects, 1996) serves as reception, information point and connection between the

    exhibition halls.The vaulted glass hall forms a climate-controlled and weather-protected space.

    In the summer natural ventilation prevents overheating. For protection from the sun theglazing has been white fritted.

    Fatade duble

    The cavity is connected with the outside air so that the windows of interior faade canbe opened, even in the case of tall buildings subject to wind pressures; this enables

    natural ventilation and night-time cooling of the buildings thermal mass. In winter thecavity forms a thermal buffer zone which reduces heat losses and enables passivethermal gain from solar radiation.

    28-storey high-rise office tower.The design of the RWE faade system was influenced by theclients' desire for optimum use of daylight, natural ventilation,

    and solar protection. All these demands resulted in atransparent interactive faade system which encompasses

    the entire building. The exterior layer of the double-skinfaade is 10-mm extra-white glass. The interior layer consists

    of full-height, double-pane glass doors that can be opened13.5 cm wide by the occupants (and wider for maintenance).The 50-cm wide interstitial space is one-storey (3.59 m) highand one module (1.97 m) wide. Outside air admitted throughthe 15 cm high ventilation slit at the base of one module is

    then ventilated to the exterior out the top of the adjacentmodule. Retractable venetian blinds are positioned just

    outside the face of the sliding glass doors (contributes tointerior heat gains?) within the interstitial space. An anti-glarescreen is positioned on the interior.Daylight, direct solar and glare can be controlled with blindsand an interior anti-glare screen. The extra air cavity acts asa thermal buffer, decreasing the rate of heat loss between

    outside and inside. Fresh air is supplied through the openingat the bottom and warm air is exhausted through the openingat the top of the faade. During extreme cold conditions, thewindows are closed. Warm air is returned to the central plantvia risers for heat recovery in the winter. The faade provides

    good heat insulation in the winter and with the combination ofslatted blinds, effective solar protection in the summer.

    Commerzbank, Frankfurt, 1991-97, Foster and Partners, one of the largest banks in

    Europe, commissioned in 1991 to the Norman Foster building 259 m high, with 53 floors. Whenit was completed in May 1997, Commerzbank was the highest in Europe.

    This tower was the first turn "green" in the world by the incorporation of environmental criteria inits development as an efficient system of thermal efficiency of the floor. Systems to reduceenergy introduced maximize daylight for lighting so that all offices take full advantage of natural

    light. The tower is a vertical triangle composed of three petals whose rounded accommodateelevators and lifts and the center is an atrium that joins the exterior walls in nine locations. Thefloors are arranged in both sides of offices and a garden, the aim being that each employee hasaccess to natural daylight. Gardens are four floors at different levels on each side of the tower,forming a spiral of landscaping around the building. These gardens play an ecological role,

    providing daylight and fresh air in the central atrium, which acts as a chimney for naturalventilation for offices. The gardens are also places to relax during breaks refresh, bringing the

    richness and humanity of the workplace. Plantations vary depending on the gardens.The building rests on a steel frame consisting of 111 pillars, which reduces the weight of

    construction. This technique, commonly used in the United States, was a first in Europe. Thebuilding is dressed in laminated glass to be transparent to radar, according to the requirements

    of air traffic control center.

    Fatade duble, interspatiu pe intreaga inaltime a cladirii

    In double skin facades with a full, buiding-high cavity one problem that has to eovercome is that of the rising air, which has been warmed, re-entering the buiding

    through open windows at the upper levels. To prevent this from happening, the full-

    high cavity is used as a large shaft either for air inflow or outflow.Andrea Compagno

    Project Description: 22-storey, 11-m wide office building with cross ventilation and a double-skin

    thermal flue on the west-facing faade.This 11-m wide office building allows for cross ventilation. The east faade consists of automaticallyand manually-operated triple-glazed windows with between-pane blinds. Louvered metal panelsalso occur on the east faade to admit fresh air independently from the windows. The west faadeconsists of a double-skin faade with interior double pane windows that are operated both manuallyand automatically and a sealed 10-mm exterior glazing layer. The interstitial space is 0.9 m wide.Wide, vertical, perforated aluminum louvers located in this interstitial space are also automatically

    deployed and manually adjustable. The louvers can be fully extended to shade the entire westfaade.

    Outside air admitted from the east faade provides cross ventilation to the opposing west faade.The prevailing window direction is from the east. The west faade acts as a 20-storey high shaftinducing vertical airflow through stack effect and thermal buoyancy. Where partitioned offices occur,sound-baffled vents permit airflow across the building.During the heating season, the air cavity between multi-layer faade acts as a thermal buffer whenall operable windows are closed. Warm air is returned to the central plant via risers for heat

    recovery. Fresh air is supplied from the raised floor system. Radiant heating and cooling areprovided. Thermal storage in the ceiling and floor was created using exposed concrete soffits and acementitious voided screed system. Various building systems such as lighting and diffusers areeither integrated into the soffit or into the voided screed.

    The Akademie Mont-Cenis includes a guest house for trainees as well as a community centre with library, ameeting place for locals and a district administrative office for the city of Herne. The inspiration for the buildingcame from London's Crystal Palace built for the 1851 Great Exhibition: all units are organised as interior woodenstructures under a glass enclosure. The wood-beam supported micro-climate enclosure 180-m long, 75-m wideand 15-m high - allows for simple construction of the constituent houses that manage without weather protection.

    The buildings use 50% less energy than conventional constructions. Heat and electricity are supplied by acommunal power source that runs on methane. The roof is lined with a 1 MW photovoltaic system.

    Two three-storey truncated cones immediately catch the eye. One is the entry area to the training academy andthe other houses the district library. The arrangement of the district town hall is such that the academy and officeelements function alongside one another without problems. Within the district park, the academy is situated at ahigher elevation and is framed by an oval line of trees and a light installation by Mischa Kuball.

    Outside the ellipse, spontaneous vegetation will develop into woodland as the old industrial slag heaps were longago covered over by grassland. Subsequently, the Landschafts- und Naturschutzgebiet Vosshacken [Vosshackenlandscape park and nature reserve] will become part of the park. The 2005 completion of a residential andcommercial building, which includes a supermarket, various smaller shops, medical practices as well asapartments suitable for the elderly and disabled, marked the last step in the renewal of the community centre. The

    public marketplace that fronts the four-storey building links the park and academy to the rest of the district.
