Environmental Control and Information Exchange though the Integration of Display Technologies to Dynamic Building Envelopes
Recent developments in dynamic glazing technologies have made progress towards greater energy efficiency for curtain wall systems. However, these existing technologies are limited in their performative response to bioclimatic and programmatic conditions because of their inability to precisely adjust to the continuously shifting geometries and intensities of the solar resource. Recent developments in emerging display technology may provide opportunities to transfer technology to glazing systems that can achieve high levels of geometric and spectral selectivity through the building membrane in order to meet the lighting, thermal and informational requirements of occupied spaces. The integration of such technologies throughout exterior and interior surfaces may provoke new types of social engagement as they significantly improve building performance through the filtering of daylight in a manner consistent with programmatic and energy requirements.
