Popis: | The climate change crisis and the need to control environmental impacts of the construction industry have motivated designers toward designing high performance and sustainable buildings. A building's facade, as a part of the enclosure, is certainly no exception to this requirement; however, despite the significant potential for building energy savings and reduction of environmental impacts, building facade design is not receiving proper attention. Presently, there is a need for a systematic approach to facilitate the integration of the various disciplines involved (e.g. architecture, as well as structural, mechanical and electrical design) and provide a comprehensive action plan that considers the life cycle stages of a facade system from conceptual design to demolition. This paper initially provides the required actions and considerations in each phase of design to provide a new and simplified guideline for designers in achieving a high performance facade system, with the help of Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methods. Secondly, the application of the Choquet integral and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is discussed to select the most suitable alternatives in facade preliminary design for a case study building, and the results are compared. |
