\section{Context}  According to the U.S. DOE Building Energy Data Book (2010), the building sector is responsible for 40\% of the nation's primary energy consumption.\cite{Gelman_2011} consumption \cite{Gelman_2011}.  %\footnote{Esterly, S., \& Gelmen, R. \textit{2010 Renewable Energy Data Book.} EERE, 2010.}   Historically, the building envelope has been tasked with the challenge of neutralizing highly variable solar, air, pollutant, and moisture conditions, all while maintaining a constant desired interior condition.\citation{selkowitz2003perspectives} condition\citation{selkowitz2003perspectives}.  %\footnote{S.E. Selkowitz, E.S. Lee, O. Aschehoug. Perspectives on Advanced Facades with Dynamic Glazings and Integrated Lighting Controls.}   In an attempt to maintain indoor conditions, modern building systems rely heavily on fossil-fueled mechanisms and highly insulated or glazed static building envelopes to reject exterior energy flows.\citation{krarti2010energy}  %\footnote{Krarti, Moncef.
