Smart Materials in Architecture: Innovations That Enhance Energy Efficiency and Environmental Sustainability
Abstract
The paper discusses the substantial application of smart materials and their integration into contemporary structures. It delineates the architectural perspective to evaluate how architecture can evolve with the progression of smart materials. The scientific application of smart structural mechanics in the design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure requires focus within the field of civil engineering. Smart meters are essential elements of next-generation systems as they facilitate remote measurement of energy usage. The TiO2 coated plastering mortar exhibits excellent thermal performance in its fresh state, enhancing the thermal efficiency of building wall models. Furthermore, it encompasses the sustainable application and prospective contribution in the realization of smart cities. These technological advancements can enhance the reliability and overall safety of any structure. Consequently, the structural integrity, robustness, and enduring advantages are adequately addressed. Ultimately, we concluded that the efficacy of employing smart materials in smart buildings can serve as a catalyst for advancing “towards a new architecture.” These materials are instrumental in establishing a sustainable environment that is eco-friendly and results in reduced energy consumption, benefiting society.
