Abstract :

Smart building materials are revolutionizing architectural design by making structures more sustainable, functional, and adaptable. This study delves into innovative materials like bio-concrete, smart windows, and hygromorphic composites, exploring their unique applications and the challenges they face. Bio-concrete uses bacteria to self-heal cracks, cutting down on maintenance needs and environmental impact. Smart windows, with thermochromic and electrochromic technologies, adjust to light and heat levels, boosting energy efficiency. Inspired by nature, hygromorphic materials respond to humidity changes, creating adaptive and dynamic facades. While issues like cost, durability, and integration remain, these materials hold immense promise for greener, smarter buildings. The research underscores the importance of collaboration and innovation in advancing these technologies for a more energy-efficient and sustainable future.
