Comparative Building Envelope Components: Comparative Experiments focus on the experimental simultaneous evaluation of different types of components. The components are compared through laboratory tests and through simultaneous monitoring on-site inside real buildings. Brief but readable, this book accounts for the latest research in innovative materials, systems, and components along with a detail technical explanation of what this breakthrough means for building exteriors and sustainability. Topics include a discussion of transparent envelopes components such as: intelligent kinetic skins such as low-e coatings: high vs low silver content in glass, solar control coatings: Silver vs Niobium vs tin, Structural adhesives. In addition, Opaque Envelope Components are also presented including: the opaque dynamic facades, clay lining vs plasterboard and nano clayed foams.

Experimental investigations on real case studies, to explore in detail the behaviour of different envelopes
Laboratory tests on existing insulation (if any, through samples extracted on-site) to quantify the actual performances
Provide the tools and methods for comparing, selecting and testing materials and components for designing effective building envelopes
Covers both transparent and opaque envelope components as well as opaque dynamic facades
