Buildings could play a critical role in energy and food production while making high-density cities more resilient. Productive façades (PFs), as flexible multi-functional systems integrating photovoltaic (PV) vertical farming (VF) systems, contribute to transforming buildings communities from consumers producers. This study analyses the architectural quality of developed PF concept drawing on findings web-survey conducted among experts – building professionals Singapore. The design variants...
Singapore’s high dependence on imported energy and food resources, the lack of available land requires an efficient use built environment in order to increase autonomy. This paper proposes concept a productive façade (PF) system that integrates photovoltaic (PV) modules as shading devices well farming planters. It also outlines design optimization process for eight PF prototypes comprising two categories systems: Window balcony façade, four orientations. Five criteria functions describing...
Based on the findings from a recent study by authors which examined factors affecting diffusion of photovoltaics (PV), while comprehensively considering local PV and construction industry as well characteristics built environment, this paper proposes holistic strategy for implementation into Singapore’s environment. It consists (1) multilevel mechanism framework, encompassing eleven categories instruments activities (2) general design framework including principles, project instructions main...
Semi-outdoor learning space is an important part of a university campus, as it accommodates and social activities while enabling users to connect with outdoor environments. This research explores the relationships between thermal environments, perceptions spatial settings in five selected semi-outdoor spaces on campus National University Singapore. A distance meter was used measure such floor height void-to-solid ratio spaces. heat stress air temperature relative humidity, another wind...
To improve the photovoltaic (PV) power generation, temperature control measures and optimization of BIPV systems are critical, particularly in tropical weather. There two categories cooling mechanisms, i.e. passive active cooling. In present study, a simplified numerical model is set up to evaluate effect façades with various configurations, including PV periphery openings (i.e. area ratio), behind air cavity depth, wind velocity attack angle (0 90 degrees) on cell module. A parametric study...
