Abstract

Building envelopes acts as the boundary between the outdoor environment and the indoor working spaces. The smart thing to do is think in terms of interaction, minimum use of materials and energy to reduce the environmental impact of this major human activity called building. Smart materials technologies are the keynote to 21st-century economic improvement. This paper represents a smart method to simplify the invention of design concepts and develop the improvement of building envelopes that are better suited to their environments. Smart envelopes can significantly increase levels of functionality, which include smart material of envelopes, play a significant role in the way systems adapt to environmental conditions, and provide a multi- operative boundary to control heat. The aim of the paper to emphasize the functional role of smart envelopes for environmental adaptation provides an analytical study of the types of smart materials available, giving new insight into innovative methods and techniques, understanding the search for smart envelope applied in architecture, and adaptation of an environmental sustainability. In this study, a BASE CASE model simulated with "Design Builder" software based on "Energy Plus" with the application of Smart technique as a part of achieving sustainable buildings. The results showed that the smart application in Egypt had the main impact on enhancing performance and as a result, a reduction in energy usage.
