The Dynamic Double Façade: An Integrated Approach to High Performance Building Envelopes

Edgar Stach, William C. Miller, J. Rose, Kate Armstrong

Abstract

The Living Light house, an entrant in the 2011 Department of Energy Solar Decathlon, incorporates an innovative dynamic double facade system. This paper details key features of the facade system including aesthetic integration of technical components, natural and electric illumination, design of shading devices, and use of the facade cavity to harness solar-thermal energy.
