<br/><br/> The study introduces new techniques of applying sustainable smart materials on existing buildings which will give them the ability to adapt passively with the surrounding environment and climate, reach the comfort zone inside the buildings automatically without occupants' interference. This research will present guidelines on way of using smart materials, assembling them in various geometrical composites, and how to apply them on the exterior building envelope, to reach optimum level of comfort without human interference
