Abstract

In recent decades, scholars have proposed using daylight in buildings as one of the main aspects of design due to the necessity of energy consumption decrease and also the positive physical and mental influence of natural light on users. Using ordinary glasses in buildings causes energy wastage and thereby increases energy consumption and cost. Consequently, it is necessary to use the appropriate types of glass and windows in order to reduce energy consumption and not prevent daylight from entering the building. Therefore, comprehensive and extensive attention to the compatibility of the architectural design of façade systems and current advancements in computational tools for understanding specifications of such systems and parametric tools, genetic process (GAs), and building Performance Simulation (BPS) that help designers, are necessary. Hence, In the present study, an attempt has been done to explain recent developments and existing gaps of knowledge with a comprehensive study of research literature.
