Switching daylight: Performance prediction of climate adaptive ETFE foil façades (2021)
Journal Article

This paper reports on the daylighting performance of switchable ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) foil in double-skin façades (DSF). In contrast to conventional glazing or static ETFE façades, switchable ETFE moderates incident daylight and control...
