Advanced materials in smart building skins for sustainability : from nano to macroscale

Advanced materials in smart building skins for sustainability : from nano to macroscale / Julian Wang, Donglu Shi, Yehao Song, editors.

Conventional building skins are constructed as static structures upon the typical design conditions in terms of external climate and internal occupant activities. This generates dissociation between the envelope structure and its environment. With the emerging advanced materials, such as chromic-bas...
