new architectural trends have emerged to meet human needs at the present time, including architecture that is responsive / adaptive to the surrounding conditions such as climate to maximize the efficiency of the building and human comfort. Accordingly, adaptive façades aim to change the shape of the building skin to meet users ’needs and maximize the efficiency of building's operation. This research aims to work out a methodology to evaluate the effect of adaptive facades on daytime performance, by studying the principles and methodology of designing climate adaptation interfaces that are inspired by the biological nature, and applying the evaluation methodology to buildings that follow the principles of conditioning. The study concluded to; Buildings did not achieve the level of the ecosystem as this level should be applied to the urban design rather than architectural In case study; Al Bahr Towers achieved 86% of the day lighting performance, while Council House2 achieved a 69% of day lighting performance. The Syracuse University Research Center achieved 92% of day light performance. The One Ocean Expo achieved a day performance of 83%. |
