Abstract:
Though the technologies are dynamically developing and there are a lot of research projects, there is still no general opinion on a glass-facade building among the European scientific community, architects and construction engineers. The increasing requirements to heat-protective qualities of translucent structures make us think of the necessity of a quantum leap both in technologies and in principal approaches to the development of architectural and constructive solutions of translucent shells. Together with economical features, the dynamics of heat-protective indicators’ increase show the tendencies to reaching the possibilities limits of mass glass units. The European construction practice usually solve this problem by developing sealed insulating glass units and by different conceptual solutions of the systems of translucent double facades. In the given article the basic theoretical principles and innovative engineering ideas are formulated dealing with the modern glass-facade building construction. “Green Building” conception is analyzed as a European new building philosophy.

Abstract:
External facades of buildings and other structures shape the image of every building, creating the architecture of cities. Traditional concrete forms, as a symbol of durability and stability, have been replaced by lightweight enclosures—for example, in the form of aluminium–glass facades and ventilated facades. In this paper, the authors attempt to verify the strength of influence and relations between the identified factors shaping the costs of facade system implementation using structural analysis. On the basis of the collected quantitative and qualitative data obtained as a result of research on design documentation and cost estimates of implemented public buildings, as well as on the basis of interviews conducted among experts, factors which have a real impact on the costs of facade systems in the form of aluminium and glass facades and ventilated facades were identified. The indicated factors were analysed and classified using the method of structural analysis, namely the MICMAC method (refers to the French acronym for Cross-Impact Matrix Multiplication Applied to Classification). Particular influences and relations between factors were examined. Finally, six groups of factors influencing the costs of facade systems were identified, including regulatory factors that do not have a very strong impact on the level of costs, but which show a strong correlation with other factors; determinants that have a very strong impact on the costs; and a group of external factors that show the smallest influence on the estimation of façade cost.

Abstract:
Abstract The construction of double-skin glass facades in Hungary has mainly design or acoustic motivations. The potential energy savings or risks of double-skin facades are, however, not commonly evident. This fact is not surprising if we notice that there is no widely excepted classification of these constructions. In the following article different facade typologies are compared (Pottgiesser, BBRI, Széll) and an attempt to develop a transparent classification system is made. Subsequently a few chosen facade types, which are expected to perform well in the Hungarian climate, are evaluated through computer simulation programs to serve as a guideline for the design on climates similar to the domestic one.

Abstract:
Glass facades building, especially offices, always need shading devices to guarantee occupant's well-being and comfort. However, shading devices are often composed of shutters or fabric tents which creates dark interiors and do not allow access to view out. Moreover, they ruin the aesthetical appearance of glass facades. The study aims to research and propose an alternative shading system for glass facades building which can prevent from glare in the interior spaces as well as respecting the continuity of a glass facade from an exterior point of view. Research upon materials that can be integrated into glass has been carried and Ceramic ink digital printing has been found as the right technique to ensure both a functional and aesthetical value. The material today has been used mainly for decorative functions. The patterns and the colors of the shading device proposed with ceramic and digital ink printing have been tested in Deloitte Building in Copenhagen with both 3D digital models and an online survey investigating comfort preferences.

Abstract:
Cable-net supported glass facade systems that comprise of pre-stressed cable-net, glass panes and glass support attachments; are commonly used in airport terminals, hotel lobbies, and trade centres. Glass used in building facade presents an aesthetic feature as well as contributes to the structural stiffness of the whole structural system of the building. In this research, the performance of cable-net supported glass facade systems was investigated via experiments and finite element analysis using the Abaqus v6.9 software. Two generic configurations of cable-net system were considered, namely flat and curved cable-net system, both with and without glass panes. For the curved cable-nets, two different curvatures were considered. Each system was subjected to three tests: static, impact and cable anchorage failure test. The results indicated that the glass panes made significant contributions to the stiffness of the whole structural system. The glass stiffness contribution for flat cable-net system was high at the early stage of loading (approximately 30%) but reduced when the load was increased. However, the glass stiffness contribution for curved cable-net increased gradually as the load was increased. For both configurations, the glass stiffness contribution remained steady at about 20% of the whole structural stiffness as the cables in the cable-net stiffened until the maximum load was applied to the system. Based on the static tests, the pre-stress force in the cables in the cable-net systems can possibly be reduced by approximately 50% of the initial pre-stress force; should the glass be considered in the analysis design of cable-net structure. Moreover, the curved cable-net could be designed to have lower pre-stress force in cables compared to that of flat cable-net to meet the deflection criterion of the cable-net structure. Consequently, in the impact test, the glass supported by cable-net structure was deflected at the same level as the cable-net when subjected to impact force. Although the deflection of cable-net is large, the deflection of individual glass was very shallow compared to the allowable deflection of glass pane. Despite the cable-net structure having the capability in reducing the impact force on the glass pane, it has no capability to prevent glass breakage when the impact hit the glass at its edge. Another effect of impact test was the corner node of the cable-net structure had almost the same deflection when the ball bearing hit the glass at the centre of glass facade; although it was found to be very stiff in the static test. The corner node was deflected excessively although the impact was farther from the node. The sudden failure of cable anchorage had no dramatic effects such as progressive collapse or glass breakage even though the cable forces in the curved cable-net oscillated about ±20% of the initial pre-stressed force. Finite element (FE) models were developed for flat cable-nets with and without glass panes using the Abaqus v6.9 software. The FE results were in good agreement with the experimental results with only 1% difference between the two sets of results.

Abstract:
The initial idea for this thesis involved the design of an addition to Cowgill Hall on the Virginia Tech Campus in Blacksburg, Virginia. This addition, to be constructed with an envelope comprised primarily of glass, would be located on the south side of Cowgill Hall, adjacent to Cowgill Plaza. The all-glass box would add a transparent volume to the existing building, diminishing the barrier between inside and outside. The project would also energize the existing plaza by connecting the activity inside to outside and providing the dynamic reflection of a glass facade. Cowgill Hall would also be given new life by providing a new shared vertical space for dynamic communication and light. Potential problems associated with the all-glass box include high heat loss or gain, glare and noise control. A double envelope system of construction was explored as a means of solving some of these problems and an endeavor on literature review, technical research and design improvement of double glass facade was also made.

Abstract:
Visual integration of the building interior and exterior is one of the charms of today's architecture. The Double-Skin facade system is a technology that can reduce the drawbacks of using glass in a building's elevation. In fact, the double-skin façade (DSF) offers transparency while reducing energy consumption when compared to single-skin systems in cold and moderate weather conditions. However, there is no clear evidence of how the system will perform in hot climate conditions. In this research, a testing procedure was established to experimentally evaluate the performance of the double-skin façade system, data was collected to create multiple regression models, and then evaluate the double-skin façade's performance and compare it to a single-skin system in hot arid climate conditions.
Doctor of Philosophy
Improving the quality of indoor environments is a main goal in today’s architecture. Towards this goal, the use of glass and curtain walls is common in office buildings. The building façade is a key factor for the amount of energy consumed to reach comfort levels in the building. That is, because facades influence lighting, glare, heat gain, noise safety and energy usage. Therefore, the use of glass improves transparency which can interfere with comfort levels inside the building due to solar heat gain. The Double Skin façade system is widely adopted in Europe and has been shown to reduce energy used for heating in cold weather. In winter, heat losses can be reduced as the system’s intermediate cavity acts as a thermal buffer. However, there is no clear understanding of how the system will perform in hot arid climate conditions where cooling is the dominant operating mode. A Double Skin Façade can provide shading during the overheating period, while having the desired glass elevations sought by designers. This is due to ventilation and solar control devices located inside the system’s cavity. Being placed between the interior and the exterior glass panels, solar control devices are protected from the weather, which in return decreases its size. Furthermore, the additional glass panel allows windows in the system’s inner layer to be opened for natural ventilation. Unfortunately, the performance of the Double Skin Façade system for hot arid climate is not well documented. Therefore, the primary goal of this research is to compare the thermal and light performance of the Double Skin Façade system to a single façade system for hot weather conditions.

Architects have a fascination for the glass, as curtain walls are present on every city in the world, regardless of the local weather and the usage of buildings. Glass allows the integration between the interior and the exterior and vice-versa, playing an important role in making an architecture project coming to life, useful. The solution for the equation that involves: envelope; residential buildings, glass, weather, comfort and energy conservation on 21st century is taking advantage of the transparency qualities and resistance of the glass in order to create envelopes fully adapted to the local climatic reality without harming the environmental comfort of the residential buildings users, focused on the market from São Paulo

Abstract:
<p>The research project FABIG pursues a comprehensive approach in developing facades with photobioreactors made of glass. The story-high reactor elements generate biomass that can either be processed for the pharmaceutical and food industry or used for the building energy supply. In consequence, the joint project partners Technische Universität Dresden, ADCO Technik GmbH, Arup Deutschland GmbH und SSC GmbH contribute their expertise in facade systems, adhesives, technical building systems and manufacturing.</p><p>This paper introduces microalgae, their industrial applications and different production plants for cultivation. The main section traces the development starting from the constructive concept to the realization of a prime prototype in operation. This development includes composition and function of essential constructive elements and specific load assumptions in a photobioreactor. The researchers gave significant attention to load-bearing adhesives inside the reactor exceeding current state of technology. Previous experimental tests on the adhesive and a study on the inner joint composition are presented. The study considers two joint variations and rates them according to their mechanical behavior, processing and assembly characteristics.

Abstract:
<p>In terms of rehabilitation of existing buildings, a new façade is often planned and build to make the building more sustainable. In more and more cases, not only new windows, but also completely new façades and even so-called double skin facades are being constructed. This second skin has several advantages like sound protection, possibility of natural ventilation, contribution to energy balance and others. The paper will give basic requirements and information about this type of facade. One recently realized project is a high rise building of more than 100m height in Munich, listed as a historic building – so additional attention to optical appearance was necessary. And moreover, curved insolation glass units had to be used; since there are no regulations, special theoretical investigations and calculations had to be carried out.</p>

Abstract:
Abstract The adoption of fossil-based hydrocarbon polymer composites has been successful in both the automotive and aircraft industries, and is rapidly expanding into buildings and civil infrastructure. One challenge to broader adoption of polymer composites in buildings and civil infrastructure is a limited ability to model the synergistic effects of the combined physical/chemical processes of environmental exposure and mechanical loading. Unlike other building materials, long-term experience and field performance data of polymer composites in buildings and civil infrastructure applications does not exist. The first and largest composite building system used in a high-rise exterior in the US is the facade of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) completed in 2015. Since historical, experience-based service life models for composite building applications are not available, it is crucial to build multiphysical-based models in order to predict composite service life performance on a semi-centennial or centennial time scale. This paper uses a parametrically homogenized deterioration model to hierarchical model the thermo-chemical-mechanical degradation at the structural length scale and proposes this computational model as a component to complete a new multi-physics-based service life prediction framework. This effort consists of three steps: (i) use the theory of synergistic effects between ultraviolet exposure and moisture exposure degradation processes developed by the authors to generate a residual, deterioration-induced damage variable field, (ii) implement the residual damage field as the initiation of a continuum damage model (CDM) at structure length scale, and (iii) recreate one 3D façade plate of the SFMOMA and perform parametric damage analysis.

Abstract:
Abstract Solar chimney is a system to produce energy and it has several applications, such as production of electricity, buildings ventilation, heating and cooling. In this paper, a numerical investigation on a prototypal solar chimney system integrated in a south facade of a building is presented. The chimney is 4.0 m high, 1.5 m wide whereas the thickness at the inlet the channel has a gap equal to 0.34 m and at the outlet it is 0.20 m. The chimney consists of a converging channel with one vertical wall and one inclined of 2°. The analysis is carried out on a three-dimensional model in airflow and the governing equations are given in terms of k-ε turbulence model. The problem is solved by means of the commercial code Ansys-Fluent. Simulations are carried out considering the solar irradiance for assigned geographical location and for a daily distribution. Further, comparison between steady state and transient regimes is examined and discussed. Results are given in terms of wall temperature distributions, air velocity and temperature fields and transversal profiles. Performances are better when heat flux is higher and sun is in front of chimney and a low-emissivity glass improves solar chimney achievements. Analysis in transient regimes confirm results obtained in steady state regime.

Abstract:
Abstract In this paper, a two-dimensional numerical investigation on a prototypal solar chimney system integrated with an absorbing capacity wall in a south facade of a building is presented. The capacity wall is composed of a high absorbing plate and an assigned thickness of phase change material. The chimney consists of a converging channel with one vertical absorbing wall and the glass plate inclined of 2°. The chimney is 5.0 m high, with the channel height equal to 4.0 m, whereas the channel gap is at the inlet equal to 0.34 m and at the outlet it is 0.20 m. The thermal energy storage system is 4.0 m high with a paraffin wax. The transient analysis on a two-dimensional model in airflow is carried out and the governing equations for natural convection in turbulent flow with Boussinesq assumption and thermophysical properties temperature independent are given in terms of k-ε turbulence model. The problem is solved by means of the commercial code Ansys-Fluent using the finite volume method. The numerical analysis was intended to evaluate the thermal and fluid dynamic behavior of the solar chimney integrated with a latent thermal energy storage system for different values of the PCM thickness. The analysis is accomplished at the 21 June by the sunrise to sunset with the chimney oriented towards south. The simulations are performed considering the solar chimney located in Aversa, Italy. Results are given in terms of wall temperature distributions, air velocity and temperature fields and transversal profiles in the channel whereas in terms of liquid fractions, temperature and stream function fields for the phase change material. Thermal and fluid dynamics behaviors are evaluated in order to have some indications to improve the energy conversion system.

Abstract:
Workplace inclusion is a core component of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Hong Kong. Workplace inclusion points to the need for employers to recognize diversity among employees, to acknowledge their contributions to the work environment and to raise professional standards for the work force. Diversity within a workplace indicates inclusion of persons with different backgrounds as in racial, ethnic, sex, health status, sexual orientation and gender identity. Women are already less represented at senior levels across various business sectors in Hong Kong. Lesbians and bisexual women face a double glass ceiling in the workplace as a result of both their gender and sexual orientation. Funded by Lingnan University’s Innovation and Impact Fund, and in partnership with Interbank Forum and Lesbians in Finance, Prof. Denise Tse-Shang Tang conducted an online survey and two focus groups targeting lesbians and bisexual women working in Hong Kong’s financial and banking industry. The aim of the study is to examine the specific challenges and barriers faced by lesbians and bisexual women in Hong Kong’s financial services industry. We found that only 37% of survey respondents were out at work, with 23% partially out to close colleagues. In other words, there are still key concerns with being out at work. On the issue of a glass ceiling for LGBT+ corporate employees, 18% of the survey respondents agreed and 47% somewhat agreed that such a ceiling exists. When asked whether it is harder for lesbians and bisexual women to come out in the workplace than it is for gay men, 32% agreed and 46% somewhat agreed. 27% agreed and 39% somewhat agreed with the statement that it is difficult for lesbians and bisexual women to climb up the corporate ladder. Other findings pointed to the low visibility of lesbians and bisexual women in corporate settings, lack of mentorship, increased levels of stress and anxiety, and the fear of being judged as both a woman and a lesbian. Masculine-presenting employees face significantly more scrutiny than cisgender female employees. Therefore, even though discussion on diversity and inclusion has been on the agenda for better corporate work environment in Hong Kong, there still remain gaps in raising awareness of lesbian and bisexual women’s issues.
