Abstract
The LivingLight house, an entrant in the 2011 Department of Energy Solar Decathlon, incorporates an innovative dynamic double façade system. This paper details key features of the façade system including aesthetic integration of technical components, natural and electric illumination, design of shading devices, and use of the façade cavity to harness solar-thermal energy.
