What is Environmentally Responsive Architecture Technology?
Environmentally Responsive Systems Technology is simply the use of environmental sensors ( temperature, humidity and sunlight) and electro-mechanical architectural elements (such as windows, curtains, floors & walls) that are monitored and controlled by a computer so that they respond to current environmental conditions (such as sunlight or cool air) to assist in the heating and cooling of a residence or building in order to decrease a building’s use of fossil fuels or network energy. To design Environmentally Responsive Systems, a simple understanding of Thermal Energy and its relationships to insulation and thermal mass materials as well as sunlight is of key importance.
Principles of Environmentally Responsive Thermal Design
This is an unfinished work in progress describes the theory and experimental approach to the physics of thermal energy and how we view heat in Environmentally Responsive Architecture Technology?
