Auto-responsive technologies (ARTs) operate in an intrinsic mode undergoing reversible changes in one or more of their properties in direct response to external stimuli variations. The aim of this paper is to identify their potential use for the thermal renovation of opaque facades of buildings in order to reach climate adaptivity. Adaptive facade concept offers a huge potential for thermal renovation, by improving occupants’ comfort, promoting sector decarbonization, and being an opportunity for adapting facades to climate change.

A literature review permitted the systematization of thermal renovation adaptive strategies (TRAS) in which ARTs can be useful. The facade reversible changes (outputs) required for each strategy were identified, as well as the possible adaptation mechanisms to obtain them. The technologies responding within the recognized adaptation mechanisms were described and compared, their readiness level identified and their role within the TRAS was assigned.

An approach to assess the suitability of each ART regarding TRAS for existing facades was conceived. It uses the criteria of aesthetic change, additional space and demolition needs, localization and area of intervention.

The role of each ART within each TRAS, here systematized, will support the definition of the ART's operational range for each application and climate, and will promote the research and development of these technologies for thermal renovation of buildings’ facades.

自动响应技术（ART）在固有模式下运行，会对外部刺激变化做出直接响应，使其一种或多种特性发生可逆变化。本文的目的是确定其潜在用途，以对建筑物的不透明外墙进行热修复，以达到气候适应性。自适应立面概念通过改善乘员的舒适度，促进部门的脱碳以及为使立面适应气候变化提供了巨大的热修复潜力。

文献综述允许进行热修复适应策略（TRAS）的系统化，其中ART可能有用。确定了每种策略所需的立面可逆更改（输出），以及获得它们的可能的适应机制。描述并比较了在公认的适应机制内做出响应的技术，确定了它们的准备程度，并指定了它们在TRAS中的作用。

设想了一种评估每个ART有关现有外墙的适用性的方法。它使用审美变化，额外的空间和拆除需求，本地化和干预区域的标准。

每个TRAS在系统化的情况下在每个TRAS中的作用将支持对每种应用和气候的ART操作范围的定义，并将促进对建筑物外墙进行热修复的这些技术的研究和开发。
