Abstract
In this chapter, a brief history of how different approaches to intelligence have been applied in the design of building envelopes, focusing on those efforts towards energy saving and user comfort , is presented. It is illustrated through a series of developments from traditional construction to contemporary advanced examples. A classification system is also proposed and presented in order to describe state-of-the-art envelope components.
