Abstract Buildings consume vast amounts of energy and pollute the environment in various ways. Facade is a part of building's architecture that can play a significant role in reducing energy consumption, as well as alleviating its negative environmental effects. Although using smart materials in buildings' facades can help dramatically to attain the mentioned goals, very limited studies have been conducted regarding the mentioned issues. Moreover, existing studies have investigated only a few number of smart materials simultaneously. Therefore, this research aims to conduct a wider study, identify and prioritize the most suitable building facade's smart materials according to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for Shiraz, Iran. Friedman test and Analytical Hierarchy Analysis (AHP) were used to analyse data using SPSS and Expert Choice software, respectively. Produced results illustrated that “Photovoltaic materials”, “Thermochromic materials” and “Photostrictive materials” were the best alternatives for using in building's facade. Results obtained by this research can help the building industry to move through sustainability.

基于可持续发展目标的建筑立面智能材料识别与选择

摘要 建筑物消耗大量能源，并以各种方式污染环境。立面是建筑结构的一部分，可以在减少能源消耗以及减轻其对环境的负面影响方面发挥重要作用。尽管在建筑物的外墙中使用智能材料可以极大地帮助实现上述目标，但关于上述问题的研究非常有限。此外，现有的研究仅同时调查了少数几种智能材料。因此，本研究旨在根据伊朗设拉子的可持续发展目标 (SDG) 进行更广泛的研究，确定和优先考虑最合适的建筑立面智能材料。Friedman 检验和层次分析法 (AHP) 分别用于使用 SPSS 和 Expert Choice 软件分析数据。产生的结果表明，“光伏材料”、“热致变色材料”和“光致伸缩材料”是用于建筑立面的最佳替代品。这项研究获得的结果可以帮助建筑行业实现可持续发展。
