Abstract
This paper explores a new methodology for integrating Internet of Things (IoT) on smart facades and implementing the digital twin concept in kinetic facades to advance the field of intelligent buildings and sustainable lean architecture. Advancements in climate-responsive building skins and analysis of the automatically adjustable kinetic facade with real-time solar tracking devices, temperature, humidity, occupancy, and air quality sensors are discussed in this article. While several papers have explored the implementation of Industry 4.0 trends on intelligent buildings, limited research has been conducted on the integration of IoT on smart facades and the implementation of digital twin concept. This research project aims to fill this gap by investigating the value of integrating IoT on smart facades and implementing the digital twin concept on kinetic facades. This research project contributes to the ongoing efforts to create a more sustainable and efficient built environment. This research will be valuable to researchers, architects, and engineers interested in advancing the field of next-generation architecture designs and principles.
