    4D Printing As A Solution For Saving Building Energy
    (October university for modern sciences and Arts MSA, 2023) A. H. Abd El-Wahab, Eslam; Mahrous Abdelmasih, Marina
    In view of the energy crisis all over the world, in all types of energy such as the gas and electricity crisis, the call for the use of renewable energy appeared on the basis that it was the best solution to this crisis. However, the energy was stored in containers according to the nature of the stored energy, such as batteries for electricity, which exposes part of it to loss in the process of charging and discharging it. However, the tendency to store this energy within the material itself began to emerge and apply, instead of storing energy in containers and then retrieval. The research tends to use the energy stored in the material as a solution to prevent wasting part of the energy in charging and discharging it, such as heat loss in charging and discharging electricity. So the aim of the research is using 4D printing to store and discharge energy to directly interact with the architectural problem through environmental stimuli, using heat and light stimulus to reach the desired formation or movement to solve a problem in the building
