According to the authors smart materials could make the whole technological revolution because they radically change the principles and approaches in the building. The authors of the articles set out that ventilation devices cannot disrupt the internal architecture and interior design, so ventilation should be established with all the technical and regulatory features. Smart materials that are capable of converting solar energy into electrical energy have enormous potential. The architectural design should seek to maximum use of architectural planning and design solutions that can provide the desired indoor climate. The idea of performative envelope assumes that the building design in such a way that all mechanical and electrical functions could be integrated with each other with minimal cost, and their service would be arranged optimally. Any project should include the possibility to build and modify the configuration of the installed system because "The inability of the contemporary HVAC system to maintain neutrality is often blamed on inadequate control systems or on poorly designed envelopes” (Addington 15). At the same time the architect should remember that even the most advanced heating system - cooling and ventilation will not give the desired effect, moreover, will be in vain to provide the desired indoor climate, if they do not match the architecture of the building.
The architectural solution can facilitate the effective operation of the ventilation system, and vice versa, non-effective ventilation solutions can break the ventilation in buildings. Therefore, space-planning, construction and architectural design of the building should be carefully linked to the decision of the ventilation systems of its premises.
Furthermore the productive collaboration between designers, artists and leaders in the industry of solar energy, as well as installers of ventilation systems will provide various alternatives to the use of poly-silicon in the production of solar cells and the development of feasible production processes, as well as incentives from the governments is ready to provide real solutions upcoming global energy crisis.
