Bianchi, S. (author), Andriotis, C. (author), Klein, T. (author), Overend, M. (author)Façade engineering is facing an era of extraordinary challenge to meet the surge in demand for buildings that are environmentally sustainable and enhance occupant wellbeing. Facades, also known as building envelopes, play a major role in the resource-efficiency of buildings and the quality of its indoor environment. Consequently, the...review 2024

Magri, Etienne (author), Buhagiar, Vincent (author), Overend, M. (author)The design trend of most commercial and office buildings over the past three decades focused on attaining a façade design with the highest possible window to wall ratio. Whereas this approach appears to satisfy the aesthetic scope of developing buildings that look ‘modern and transparent’ to maximise on real estate value, the demand for...journal article 2023

Volakos, Efstratios (author), Davis, Chris (author), Teich, Martien (author), Lenk, Peter (author), Overend, M. (author)Embedded load-bearing laminated glass connections have gained popularity in recent years due to their mechanical performance and aesthetic appeal. However, there is a paucity of data on their structural behaviour across a range of temperatures that may arise in building applications and there is also no simplified mechanics-based model for...journal article 2023

Luna-Navarro, Alessandra (author), Lori, Guido (author), Callewaert, Dieter (author), Overend, M. (author)Occupant satisfaction and acceptance with automated control strategies for dynamic façades is currently a barrier to the upscale of these systems. Building owners, designers and occupants are often unconvinced that an automated control strategy for dynamic façades could really be beneficial for building energy efficiency and occupant...journal article 2023

Angelides, S. C. (author), Talbot, J. P. (author), Overend, M. (author)The applications of architectural and automotive laminated glass continue to grow. This is largely due to the enhanced safety in extreme events, such as blast. However, the complex interaction between the glass fragments and the polymer interlayer after glass fracture is still only partially understood, with existing analysis methods adopting...journal article 2023

Michael, Michalis (author), Favoino, Fabio (author), Jin, Qian (author), Luna-Navarro, Alessandra (author), Overend, M. (author)High-performance glazing technologies are essential for achieving the occupant comfort and building energy efficiency required in contemporary and future buildings. In real-world applications, glazing façades are selected from a steadily increasing number of glazing technologies. However, the authors could not identify a systematic and...review 2023

Datsiou, Kyriaki Corinna (author), Overend, M. (author)Patterned acid-etched glasses are frequently used in horizontal glass surfaces that may be walked on, such as floors and staircase treads. These glasses provide useful antislip properties, but the foot traffic cause contact stresses and ageing mechanisms that are poorly understood and can affect the strength of the acid-etched glass. This...journal article 2023

Veer, F.A. (author), Overend, M. (author), Sofokleous, E. (author), Noteboom, C. (author)Lack of knowledge about the properties of weathered (used) glass is currently a major barrier to glass reuse. This results in probably unnecessary recycling or down-cycling of architectural glass at the end of life. Avoiding this creates a significant opportunity to reduce resource depletion and decarbonize the built environment. This can be...journal article 2023

Long, Lingege (author), Li, Qingxiang (author), Gan, Zhenkun (author), Mu, Jun (author), Overend, M. (author), Zhang, Dayu (author)The building sector has gained significant attention due to its remarkably high energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. In China's rural areas, stone is a popular building material, but there are unprecedented demands to improve the life-cycle performance of stone buildings. It is essential to preserve the original architectural...journal article 2023

Michael, Michalis (author), Overend, M. (author)In its simplest form, a Closed Cavity Façade (CCF) consists of a double or triple glazing unit (DGU or TGU) on the inner layer and single glazing on the outer one, forming a sealed non-ventilated cavity with an automated shading device in between. Given its dynamic behaviour, this technology can dynamically control the flow of solar energy...journal article 2022

(author), Rovas, Dimitrios (author), Raslan, Rokia (author)The thermal performance of adaptive building envelopes can be evaluated using building performance simulation tools. Simulation capabilities and accuracy in predicting the dynamic behaviour of adaptive building envelopes can be enhanced through co-simulation. However, it is unclear how accurately co-simulation can predict the performance of...journal article 2022
