Employing innovative bio-polymeric agro-based materials in tall building façade applications to tackle climate change

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter discusses the applicability of employing innovative bio-polymeric agro-based materials in the building façade realm in lieu of the conventional tall building curtain wall glass and aluminum panels. It investigates developing a new systematic material (selection + design) framework using a multi-performance criteria matrix to facilitate sorting, ranking, and selecting the optimal material candidates for the intended façade applications. A comprehensive high-rise office building façade case study in Chicago is critically analyzed and computationally examined in terms of optical, thermal, and energy performance.
