8 The Role of Façade & Envelope

9 BUILDING COOLING LOAD Commercial Building Q Envelope = 25% Residential Building Includes loads due to: Infiltration Lighting People Miscellaneous Equipment Roof Private Residential Building Loads Distribution Uwall 1.2 W/m 2 K Uglass 6.13 W/m 2 K 6% 9% Q Envelope = 38% 62% 23% Qwall Qglass Qsolar Qothers WWR = 51% Average SC 0.3

10 WHAT IS ETTV/RETV Envelope Thermal Transfer Value (ETTV) comprises the three basic components of heat gain through the external walls and windows of a building, averaged over the whole envelope area of the building. Heat conduction through opaque walls Heat conduction through glass windows Solar radiation through glass windows Residential Envelope Transmittance Value (RETV) is the residential counterpart of ETTV. It works in the same way. 10

17 Research Projects

18 Energy Efficient Building Facades for Thermal Comfort Environment Enhancing the existing ETTV/RETV formulation so as to account for energy efficient windows, dynamic facades and productivity materials. Study on Energy Efficient Residential Building Envelope: Focus mainly on residential development (both old and new) with a range of building façade features that affect thermal comfort.

21 Envelope and Facade Daylighting in Singapore: establishing lighting preferences, design guidelines and predictive Methods Understand lighting preferences in Singapore through measurements, subjective surveys, and simulation Support the design of daylit buildings, and improve connection to the outdoors 25% savings in lighting energy 2.5-4% savings in overall building energy High Dynamic Range (HDR) Luminance Photograph of SUTD s Campus Centre Climate-Based daylight Simulation

22 Cool Paint Incorporating Phase Change Material for Buildings in the Tropics First layer reflect solar radiation and the next thin layer of Phase Change Material absorb the conductive heat from entering the buildings. Can be applied to both new and existing building surfaces including horizontal and vertical surfaces

23 Heat Reflective Coating to Improve Thermal Performance of Window Frames This dark-cloloured reflective pigment can be applied on aluminium window frames. It is able to reflect at least 20% Near-Infrared Radiation and some of them have achieved good adhesion to aluminium even without priming. It can be applied onto both new and existing metal structures without the need to strip the base paint. Apart from building façade, this paint can also potentially be used in automotive and logistics applications.

24 Solar Control Smart Window for Tropical Buildings Developed SCSW with spectrally selective control of visible light transmittance, IR reflection, low thermal transmittance, better durability and low-cost.

25 Augmenting Urban Soundscapes: Design Tools, Noise Mitigation System, and Evaluation of the Urban Sound Environment - To develop soundscape masking techniques to improve the aural comfort of residents in public areas - The proposed soundscape approaches utilise active noise mitigation techniques that maintain natural ventilation in residential areas. Ambient noise reduction can be achieved based on psychoacoustic masking approaches that are perceptually more soothing/relaxing to the residents, and also trigger positive physiological responses.
