[New Paper] Implementation of ISO/DIS 52016-3 for adaptive façades in an office building

This project results from the collaboration between universities, architectural design firms, standardization authorities, and facade industry representatives. We are talking about a 3-year non-funded project that has had a long-lasting impact under the leadership of young and outstanding researcher Alireza Norouziasas and the SBD Lab team at Liege University in Belgium.

ISO 52016-3 is new and part of the (EN) ISO 52000 family of standards, which specifies procedures for the calculation of the energy needs for heating and cooling, internal temperatures, and sensible and latent heat loads of a building according to ISO 52016-1, with additions or modifications that are needed to incorporate adaptive building envelope elements in the calculation. In this context and as part of the development of ISO 52016-3, this study aimed to answer the following questions:

1. How do the control strategies recommended by ISO 5216–3 for Venetian blinds and roller blinds affect the energy saving of an office building?

2. How do the control strategies recommended by ISO 52016–3 for Venetian blinds and roller blinds influence internal temperatures, thermal comfort, and visual comfort?

3. Which control strategy and dynamic shading technology (Venetian and roller blinds) is more efficient in decreasing cooling demand and electrical lighting?

Our study focuses on applying ISO 52016-3, which provides a framework for evaluating the energy performance of adaptive façades in buildings. We were able to show that this standard (control strategy) works by using a detailed case study of an office building to show how different adaptive facade technologies improve the building's energy efficiency and thermal comfort.

I thank all authors (Alireza Norouziasas, Amir Tabadkani, Ramin Rahif, Mohamed Amer, Dick van Dijk, and Herve Lamy) for their insightful contributions. I gratefully acknowledge all ISO 52016-3 committee members and the European Solar-Shading Organization (ES-SO) for their support and excellent discussions during different research steps. Thank you, MK Engineering, for sharing the case study details; without your contribution Mirjana Velickovic, Corentin Voglaire, and MK Team, the paper would never get out. Thank you, ES-SO, for your continuous support Peter Winters Ann Van Eycken.
