Abstract

 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
