Impact of kinetic facade design to enhance daylight performance for office building in Cyberjaya Malaysia

Some critical directions of building facade are highly exposed to the sun and it requires a smarter shading device than conventional shading devices that fail to adapt with nature of sun motion may occur during day, month and seasons. In this study, parametric scripts were written to propose six...
