By combining advanced thermal management, smart automation, and double-cavity ventilation, the AFM Double Cavity offers unprecedented control over façade behaviour:

• Dynamic SHGC modulation & thermal routing:
  The tinted inner glass acts as a selective filter and thermal reservoir. It absorbs solar radiation, and based on real-time input from AI or the user, the system either:
  – Transfers heat inward through inner cavity circulation (ideal for sunny winter days to enhance passive heating).
  – Directs heat outward via outer cavity ventilation (preventing overheating during summer or peak solar hours).
  This approach allows fine-tuned SHGC control, supporting comfort and energy efficiency throughout the year, not just seasonally. The user or BMS can override AI control as needed
• Adaptive U-value performance:
  The AFM can dynamically switch from high insulation (as low as 1 W/m²K) to low insulation (up to 5.5 W/m²K) depending on external/internal temperatures and user settings. This allows the module to intentionally permit heat exchange when beneficial—such as using cool night air to reduce interior temperatures by circulating trapped air between the cavities.
• AI-powered autonomy:
  The system continuously monitors solar gain, outdoor conditions, and user preferences via embedded sensors and machine-learning algorithms, adjusting ventilation and SHGC without human input.
• Energy savings:
  Simulations indicate about 30% reduction in HVAC demand (depending on the climate) compared to standard curtain wall systems, especially in buildings with high solar exposure.
• Self-powered system:
  Includes integrated photovoltaic components, eliminating the need for external power or complex wiring.
