The article investigates the dependencies of façade design and construction in integration a sustainable solar-powered cooling system based on closed adsorption. presented work focuses possible variants envelope surface -integrated adsorber. principle adsorption is and, this, architectural options for are investigated. This done both constructively visually. For each variant, solar gains summed up compared with other. A functionally designed adsorber, similar to flat plate collector, serves as reference starting point modifications. It provides comparative value energy evaluation. modification limited visible absorber. texture adsorbing sheet was changed glazing used replaced by ETFE cushions novel vacuum panel. Finally, simulation results were integrated into higher-level evaluate resulting gain capacity. show that could generate more than 100 W per installed square metre adsorber façade. Furthermore, higher case can be obtained at particular times day due geometry material changes. However, modifications always lead reduction total power. In conclusion, reveal flexibility possible, but currently studied have lower capacity solely
