DOI: DOI: 10.1007/978-3-031-75298-8Online resources: Summary: 1.The evolution of building envelope design in the digital and ecological transition -- 2.The relevance of performance-based design within early-stage design -- 3.Decarbonization-driven design: energy-efficient, responsive, zero-emission, positive, advanced materials, sustainable alternatives for the building envelope -- 4.Human-centric design: comfort, well-being, and health cognitive in building envelope design -- 5.Parametric building envelope design and technology integration -- 6.Investigating decision-making frameworks for early-stage performance-based building envelope design -- 7.Unlocking the Future: Innovations in Building Envelope design.Summary: This book delves into the performance-based design approach, highlighting the necessity for bespoke, adaptive, and cognitive building envelopes that promote sustainable and positive behaviors throughout their lifecycle. A key to unlock the building envelope's potential is the integration of advanced digital tools such as building information modeling (BIM) and digital twin technology, which enable accurate simulation and optimization of energy efficiency, decarbonization, and human-centric design aspects. Moreover, the work emphasizes the importance of a user-centered approach in designing interactive and connected building envelopes, thereby fostering sustainable behaviors among occupants. This focus on user engagement and education in optimizing building envelope utilization not only contributes to reducing the environmental impact but also enhances the quality of life, well-being, and health of occupants. In the era of digital and ecological transition, the book serves as an essential guide to design and operate energy-efficient, responsive, and user-friendly building envelopes, paving the way for a future where the built environment is a significant contributor to sustainability and human health.PPN: PPN: 1911777130Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-EES | ZDB-2-SXEE
