ABSTRACT

In this study, a systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted and it was aimed to assess existing literature pertaining to trends of kinetic façade and its impact. For this purpose, the search strategy was initiated by using various databases including Google Scholar, ProQuest and SCOPUS. Non-English articles and non-full text in available articles were excluded. Only papers published between 2010 and 2023 were considered. Using these exclusion criteria, the search was conducted and a sample of 45 papers was selected from different databases. The data were extracted from these papers and were subjected to analysis. The findings of SLR explicitly show that kinetic façade in middle East countries is still in its preliminary phase. It also shows that most kinetic façades are used in office buildings. Simulation is considered the most widespread method used to analyse kinetic façade performance and efficiency. The overall impact of kinetic façade includes: maintaining natural light levels, reducing heat gain, providing an attractive design, conserving energy, diminishing daylight illuminance, reducing sun glare and radiation, lowering internal temperature, improving brightness, filtering beneficial daylight, reducing solar heat gain, preventing visual discomfort, providing high daylight performance, maintaining the equilibrium between daylight, view out, and energy, balancing user satisfaction and permitting natural ventilation.
