This document specifies the additions or modifications to be used in the hourly calculation methodology in UNI EN ISO 52016-1, if one or more adaptive elements (building envelope elements with adaptive components that are either environmentally or actively controlled as a function of specific conditions) are present in the building envelope.
The adaptive building envelope element replaces the transparent building element in the calculation according to UNI EN ISO 52016-1.
The three types of adaptive building envelope elements covered in this document are:
- building envelope elements with dynamic solar shading;
- building envelope elements with chromogenic glazing;
- building envelope elements with an actively ventilated cavity
