Currently, the energy and environmental efficiency of buildings has led to development cladding systems that may help reduce structure’s demand, using techniques such as Permeable Double Skin Façade (PDSF). Given complex aerodynamic interactions, presence an external porous screen in addition inner skin play a crucial role fluid-dynamic characterization buildings, making definition wind effects...

The CFD simulation accuracy mostly depends on the appropriate setting of boundary conditions and numerical parameters. This study shows influence two types condition settings results Double-Skin Facade (DSF) for a specific problem. These are constant temperature DSF surfaces called Boundary A, B is defined via solar radiation using Discrete Ordinate Model (DOM). paper verified both simulations ...

On the way to more sustainable and resilient urban environments, incorporation of green infrastructure (UGI) systems, such as roofs vertical greening must be encouraged. Unfortunately, given their variable nature, these nature-based systems are difficult geometrically characterize, therefore there is a lack 3D objects that adequately reflect geometry analytical properties used in design process...

We present a new approach to the optimisation of Double-Skin Facades (DSFs). Parameters defined possible geometries, shading devices, openings and ventilation paths, as well as control schedules for their operation. A genetic algorithm was used to discover the best configuration and control strategies for a given scenario from scratch, rather than using a particular configuration type. The algo...

The facade of the office levels has mechanically ventilated windows. The warm air in the room is extracted above the lighting units, so that the air also takes up their additional heat. Then this air is fed via specially shaped ducts at the level of the topmost transoms into the narrow cavity of the story-height ventilated windows. Here the air is warmed further by taking up heat from radiation...
