Abstract

This paper explores about retrofitting of the existing buildings through smart and innovative ways which can adapt the buildings by means of responsive architecture to improve Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ). In order to meet the requirements of performance for a built environment, optimum values of the indoor environment should be considered as the most important factor. Responsive Building Elements (RBEs) are one of the most important design parameters for improving the efficiency of energy and IEQ. This paper reviews examples of responsive and smart architecture and its building elements. In a first step, the paper gives an overview of the research responsive architecture focusing on aspects that are most relevant for the development of the indoor environment in terms of environmental factors.
