  • Research and development in building envelope design have promoted the convergence of two system types, Thermo-Active Building Systems and Adaptive Building Envelopes, that re- conceptualize the envelope as a distributed energy transfer function that captures, transforms, stores, and even re-distributes energy resources.

    The widespread deployment of Thermo-Active Building Systems as a building envelope will depend on several factors. These factors include the value of the design...
