ducting measurements and monitoring on minor scale prototypes , which highlighted good qualities with relation to their expected roles in the façade layers composition . The next stages of the research will explore on major scale prototypes the variability of the final characteristics of the innovative materials presented , aiming to improve their formulation , according to specific requirements and to constructive and architectural needs . The integration of these new materials within the whole design process presented herein for envelope systems could effectually open up new design methods in the field of sustainable refurbishment of recently constructed buildings .
