This study investigates energy efficiency in high-rise residential buildings Abu Dhabi, where the increased use of glass building façades has led to air-conditioning costs due heat gain. The research focuses on evaluating type and appropriate cavity between minimize consumption while incorporating sustainability innovative design principles. To achieve these objectives, this employs a Double Sk...

Green façades with an active water regime and the flowing through substrate itself are not common. This system reduces temperatures incorporates evapotranspiration, which could be more effective than by regular green façades. The use of a double-skin façade ventilated air cavity can reduce heat load, but evapotranspiration it even additional benefits. also serve as key element for reducing surf...

Ventilated façades have become an increasingly employed feature in the design of low energy buildings over recent years in that they offer the attractive features of a conventional glass façade but without the thermal disadvantages. These façades consist of a double skin surface, the outer layer of which is of toughened glass, and the inner layer of which usually comprises conventional double-g...
