Dublin, April 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Advanced Materials and Technologies for Smart and Sustainable Buildings" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Due to evolving standards for building regulations and demand for occupant comfort, the performance of building envelopes continues to improve.
Buildings account for ~30-40% of the world's total primary energy, and the benefits of energy efficient buildings are numerous, from better thermal comfort to longer buildings lifecycle. In order to adhere to regulations, many new buildings are required to meet energy efficiency targets.
These targets are increasingly met through technology, and in most cases rely on advanced materials, either by developing new materials or modifying existing ones.
The use of advanced materials, nanomaterials, and smart materials, is now driving improved building envelope performance by allowing reconciliation of the architectural features of buildings with the new challenges of energy and environmental efficiency.
