Thursday, 06 January 2011 GreenMuze Staff The Homeostatic Façade System by Decker Yeadon Architects. The Homeostatic Façade is a building thermal control system that uses mechanical-muscle operated, exterior surface-mounted louvers and is a feature of Decker Yeadon Architects' intelligent green-building architectural design. The Homeostatic Façade uses polymer and elastomer louvers with a silver coating that open when illuminated by the sun, and close again as the sun’s heating effect wanes.
The dielectric silver-elastomer forms an actuator that responds to an electric charge on the silver surface proportional to the amount of incident sunlight. <div style="background-color:red;color:white;width:160px"><strong>JavaScript is disabled!
