Résumé
This research program aims to develop and test advanced responsive building façade systems that integrate nanotechnologies to reduce the energy demand of buildings drastically, and to increase the resiliency of buildings against climate change. The performance of new advanced building façade systems incorporating phase change materials, aerogel and solar- reflecting coatings, will be investigated for the Canadian climatic conditions using new state-of-the-art facilities. The
experimental investigation will include the study of aging and weathering performance of the new building façade systems. Finally, the program will train HQP on advanced building technologies and will transfer the proposed innovative responsive building façade systems into the construction sector.
