Large‐Scaled and Solar‐Reflective Kirigami‐Based Building Envelopes for Shading and Occupants’ Thermal Comfort (Adv. Sustainable Syst. 12/2023)
Source abstract
Abstract
Thermal Comfort Conventional air conditioning in building consumes substantial energy contributing to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions, which aggravates global warming. In article 2300253, Dorit Aviv, Hyeok Kim, Shu Yang, and co-workers show that the indoor daylighting pattern and temperature are significantly influenced by the geometry of the stretched kirigami envelope, and overall, both of the indoor temperature and the spatial distribution of illuminance are more uniform compared with that without the kirigami envelope. These results indicate that the installation of kirigami envelop can improve building energy saving and occupants' comfort.
