Abstract

 Nowadays, we are faced with multi-sustainability challenges in the existing
buildings in different sectors. Especially in the educational sector, this is a result of
the disregard for their orientations and location and changes in the education system,
which leads to the possibility of developing the functions and needs of these
buildings. Thus, dealing with and monitoring educational buildings, especially
schools, and changing them to sustainable and smart buildings are the main
approach in recent days. Besides using Kinetic and interactive building envelopes
is the main factor of building sustainability as referred by the literature and
occupants' preferences involvement in the façade design, it provides more
efficiency of the environmental performance, especially in visual comfort and
improving the users' comfort. Enhancing visual performance and decreasing energy
consumption leads to improvement in occupants' well-being and productivity and  a healthy learning environment in schools. This research discusses what is the
suitable proposed geometrical approach of modular interactive façade design, and
how it is simple to modulate, apply and adapt to external and internal changes. The
main aim of this research is to study and apply adaptive and 3D modular interactive
kinetic origami-based façade (IKF) and the development of form proportions of its
modulation to improve the quality of daylighting performance for all orientations
using climate studio software according to specific parameters to meet the standard
daylight level in public schools in Egypt according to daylight and students'
positions. The results show that the proposed IKF prevents visual discomfort and
improves daylight performance.
