Facade designs can improve aesthetics and energy efficiency

“We believe that the perfect facade balances aesthetic appeal with energy efficiency, transforming both the visual impact and performance of modern architecture.” — Rajan Govind, Director, BES Consultants Pvt. Ltd.

This thoughtful interaction delves into the creative methods that BES Consultants employs to design exceptional facades in terms of their aesthetic impact, sustainability, and usability.

What innovative approaches do you employ to design facades to achieve visual impact and energy efficiency?
We aim to balance high-performance materials in our facade designs to improve aesthetic appeal and energy efficiency. This entails utilising cutting-edge insulation materials, creative cladding designs, and high-performance, energy-efficient glazing systems. Using state-of-the-art technologies and sustainable methodologies, we guarantee that our facades have an exquisite appearance and substantially contribute to the buildings’ energy efficiency.

How do you choose facade materials based on durability, environmental impact, and aesthetic versatility?
We carefully choose materials with exceptional mechanical, physical, and durability qualities that have been proven over time. To reduce our environmental impact, we prioritise locally produced and less processed materials in our material selection process, which strongly emphasises ecological sustainability. We also ensure the materials are aesthetically versatile enough to satisfy various architectural needs without sacrificing performance over time.

Can you discuss how your facade solutions contribute to building performance regarding thermal efficiency, daylighting, and acoustics?
Contemporary building facades are made to fulfil a variety of practical needs. Using our facade systems and materials, we adhere to strict energy efficiency standards, including LEED and IGBC certifications. Using sophisticated models and design tools, we validate user comfort while optimising thermal efficiency, boosting daylighting, and strengthening acoustics. Our solutions ensure that buildings stay well-lit, acoustically sound, and energy-efficient, giving residents a comfortable space.

How do you customise facade solutions to meet different projects’ unique architectural vision and functional requirements?
Facade systems can be highly customised to meet the needs of individual projects with great flexibility. To customise our solutions to each project’s specific architectural vision and functional requirements, we carefully consider visual, functional, and engineering nuances. With this method, we may design facades that satisfy the functional requirements of the building’s performance while simultaneously satisfying the architects’ goals for aesthetics.

What maintenance considerations are essential for ensuring facade systems’ longevity and operational efficiency over time?
Maintaining the operation and attractiveness of building facades requires routine cleaning. Frequent examinations and upkeep of parts, including gaskets and hardware, are also required to guarantee durability and optimal performance. High-quality facade systems need less upkeep when properly installed, which lowers long-term operating costs and guarantees continued performance.

How are technological advancements influencing the development of new facade solutions, such as smart facades or dynamic shading systems?
Intelligent facades and dynamic shading systems are two examples of creative façade solutions being developed due to technological breakthroughs. Modern technologies that provide dynamic control over heat and light transmission, like electrochromic and switchable glazing, are being investigated and implemented. While costly and not yet frequently used, these approaches are how facade design will go in the future and offer major gains in occupant comfort and energy efficiency.
