| Abstract | ||||
| The research aims to conduct an Empirical study of parametric materials systems using Grasshopper simulation program to improve the natural lighting inside one of the classrooms at El-Obour School, which is based in the Northeast of Cairo in Egypt. By setting a combination of variables, such as window-to-wall ratio, window height, and windowsill height, and setting exterior shading device modifier parameters, which represent shading device depth, shading device count, and horizontal distance between them, and setting interior wall finishing materials modifier parameters. The study contrasts and evaluates different parametric material systems. A low-cost strategy for promoting contemporary teaching techniques, making savings, and reducing pollution is energy efficiency. Even though schools consume a lot of energy and resources, new advancements in materials and technology have led to the use of a variety of new building techniques in architecture and engineering, some of which even give centuries-old practices a contemporary makeover. Future structures and environments could benefit from these materials and techniques. to increase the sustainability and efficiency of products, structural engineering, and support systems It is possible to increase the effectiveness of architecture and lessen its environmental impact by using parametric systems. These attempts to investigate a new approach to environmental design that is derived from the evolutionary development of smart systems, their material properties, and their adaptive response to changes in their environment are achieved through the combination of intelligent, kinetic material systems and architecture, exploring their potential in creating a more comfortable and significantly more energy-efficient architecture. | ||||
