Impact of active façade control parameters and sensor network complexity on comfort and efficiency: A residential Italian case-study
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This study compared external Venetian blinds, integrated Venetian blinds, and electrochromic (EC) glazing in a residential Italian apartment and found that all three could significantly improve comfort and reduce winter heating load when controlled effectively. The main trade-off was between overheating and daylighting, while minimizing heating demand was relatively easy. Occupancy-based controls significantly reduced overheating, and irradiance sensors were most beneficial for west and south-facing facades, but complex controls didn't always outperform simpler ones.

Explicación de la calificación
This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the impact of various active façade control parameters and sensor network complexities on comfort and energy efficiency in a residential building. The use of multiple KPIs, various control strategies, and different shading technologies strengthens the study. While limited by its single case study and focus on rule-based controls, the findings contribute valuable insights into optimizing smart shading systems.
