Shape Memory Polymer Foam for Autonomous Climate-Adaptive Building Envelopes

Shape Memory Polymer Foam for Autonomous Climate-Adaptive Building Envelopes

Reducing the continuously growing cooling energy demand of buildings is an important part of achieving global emission targets. Here, we present an innovative scenario of how the integration of a programmable material into a climate-adaptive building envelope (CABE) can create an energy-efficient th...
