Title:

Integration of AI Shading with Other Building Envelope Technology for Optimal Building Performance.

Agreement Number:

1020252

Agreement Value:

$75,000.00

Agreement Date:

Jul 1, 2024 - Mar 24, 2025

Description:

This project aims to investigate the integration of smart blinds, double-skin façades, and occupancy factors for optimal building performance. This proposal consists of two phases. The first phase will investigate the integration of smart blinds and double-skin façades using physics-based modelling and simulation. MacKimmie Tower at the University of Calgary will be used as a reference model to conduct the modelling work. The second phase will investigate the role of occupancy factors with smart blinds for low-intervention in-space control. It includes a human-building interface to support occupants for in-space decisions such as blind positions, window opening, and thermostats’ setpoints.
