Kinetic facade design to enhance daylight performance for office building in Malaysia

Daylight design performance is a significant architectural factor and facade design has a great effect on its performance. In order to predict environmental changes and achieve more efficiently behaviour, kinetic facade is an architectural approach that use for higher effectiveness. This paper prese...
