Next active Facades

This thesis is performed as the finalization of the master degree of the master Building Technology – track Façade Design – at the faculty of Architecture. The topic is about the NEXT Active façade and its detailed application. This final report is the result of the master thesis. The graduation project started in Nov 2011 and included a broad literature study on the background of decentralized systems. The concept of decentralizedclimate system is comparatively new but it is widely becoming popular especially in Western Europe. This report unfolds the concept of NEXT Active facade with respect to the application of the system in aa given condition. The project has been very challenging and in the end quite satisfying for me and forms a nice ending of my study period in Delft. This thesis report is subjected to confidentiality.
