In European academic community, it is considered as the most efficient system for resolving the building’s insulation, eliminating the unwanted thermal bridges as well as the condensation problems 10 and so achieving an excellent thermal-hygrometric 11 behaviour of the building.

  • Constructional Design of Curtain Wall Façade Inspired by “Hydraulics” Science
    The Turkish Online Journal of Design, Art and Communication - TOJDAC April 2016 Special Edition CONSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN OF CURTAIN WALL FAÇADE INSPIRED BY “HYDRAULICS” SCIENCE Asem Sharbaf Department of Architecture, Iran university of Scince & Technology [email protected] Mitra Sharbaf Department of Architecture, Islamic Azad University of Tabriz [email protected] Ghasem Sharbaf Department of civil engineering, University of Hormozgan [email protected] ABSTRACT In recent years, the facade construction has been changed a lot. The use of curtain wall facades is the best solution to Supply the demands of the building engineering group. The curtain wall Facade has a capability to supply the expectations of the facade. There are large spectrums of construction system for curtain wall Facades that mainly concerned with the quality of their functions. Besides, we are able to mention the common points that can be seen among the facades such as: integration, lightness and particularly their transparency. The cable net façade is a new generation of Curtain wall Façade, having been previously used as a cable net structure to cover vast areas. According to the overall structure of the cable net Facade, there is a possibility that can be increased integration of façade. On the other, by increasing the façade’s area, other destructive factors such as vibration and large displacement are involved in the facade design. Many solutions have been proposed to eliminate these factors, mainly affecting the transparency of the facade. In this article, we are trying to offer a mention called ''hydraulics science'' as an appropriate solution. ''Damper'' is just one of their applications in the construction industry that is mainly used in the issue related to earthquake.

The research was carried out on a niche of the topic, namely on the carbon footprint of public buildings. The concept of a sustainable university is new and insufficiently explored, and as part of the environmental metabolism, it influences anthropic sustainability in a directly proportional manner. This indicator’s monitoring systems reveal how vulnerable humanity is in front of the latency of an unprecedented and inevitable environmental catastrophe. The ecological effects may be mitigated by the academic community through green urban design. The ecological performance can be expressed in an economically efficient manner, which can, at the same time, create a precious channel of communication within the entire academic community though volunteering for sustainability.

  • Optimizing the Architectural Layouts of Curtain Walls to Minimize Use of Aluminium
    Optimizing the Architectural Layouts of Curtain Walls to Minimize Use of Aluminium Adam D. Leea,b,∗, Paul Shepherda, Mark C. Everndena, David Metcalfec aDepartment of Architecture and Civil Engineering, University of Bath, Claverton Down, Bath, BA2 7AY, U.K. bPTCC Facade Design, Telecom Plaza, 316 Senator Gil Puyat Ave., Makati City, Metro Manila, 1200, Philippines. cCentre for Window and Cladding Technology (CWCT), The Studio, Entry Hill, Bath, BA2 5LY, U.K. Abstract During recent decades it has become common to enclose large buildings with lightweight, weathertight walls that hang, like curtains, from the floor edges. The frames of these curtain walls are, usually, extruded aluminium { a material whose production is highly energy-intensive. Although means of enhancing the thermal performance of building envelopes have been scrutinized, comparatively little attention has been given to the cost and embodied energy savings that can be achieved through efficient structural design. No guidelines for efficient use of aluminium in a curtain wall have been published, and architects therefore have not known the impact that their decisions have upon the facade's material content. In this study more than 1,000 unique curtain wall systems have been opti- mized numerically, each one to a different set of design criteria, and the results show the extent to which aluminium content is influenced by floor height, lo- cations of supports, number of horizontal members per panel, width of the extrusions, spacing between mullions, design wind pressure, and the minimum allowable thickness of aluminium. The conditions in which the amount of metal ∗Corresponding Author Email addresses: [email protected] (Adam D.
