Smart materials are a specially designed class of materials that can dynamically and reversibly alter one or more of their properties in response to changes in external environmental conditions or specific stimuli. Also known as sensitive materials, these substances are capable of controlled changes in their physical or chemical properties, shape, or behavior when exposed to specific triggers such as temperature, light, pressure, humidity, electric fields, or magnetic fields. These changes can o

Adaptive façade systems are advanced façade types that form the outer envelope of buildings and dynamically respond to changing external environmental conditions, user demands, or both. Unlike traditional static façades, these systems aim to optimize building energy performance, enhance interior comfort, and contribute to sustainability goals by altering their properties or behaviors in real time according to immediate requirements. The increasing global energy demand, limited availability of fo
