| Abstract | ETFE, a synthetic fluoropolymer, has been widely used in the construction industryfor a few decades and is gaining more popularlity due to its versatility. This article aims toreview the applications of ETFE foils in buildings as a sustainable construction material.According to literature reviews found that using of ETFE in construction can reduce theamount of raw material used, reduce building time, and reduce building costs. ETFEcushions also provide highly light-transmittance, less weight and more thermal insulationcompared to glazed roofing. Examples of built projects and applications of ETFE foils arepresented to show the potentials and challenges in order to improve the environmentalperformance of a building which may reduce the overall energy consumption. |
