Industrialization and increasing demand for the consumption of fossil fuels cause that energy becomes a strategic factor. Energy crisis and the emergence of modern architecture led designers to pay more attention to the important task of building's envelope. Building skins play an important role in building thermal behavior and reduce energy consumption. If Double Skin Facades properly designed...

The article provides a selection of the optimal organizational and technological solutions for arrangement translucentenclosing structures an office building. Their was made onthe basis multi-criteria analysis. following transparent facade systems were used as object study: rack transom facade; modular warm-cold facade, spider glazing system, element, double facade. In order to make decision re...

The paper describes a modeling study of heat transfer and buoyancy-driven airflow in double skin facades consisting of a glass outer layer, a control device (venetian blind) and a double-glazed inner skin. The modeling study was based on two approaches — a component-based, lumped parameter simulation which used a public domain, open source differential/algebraic equation solver and a detailed, ...

One of the more optimistic strategies to generate energy savings in buildings and help mitigate effect urban heat island is “green” building envelopes. In general, a vertical greenery system (VGS) has excellent possibilities for cutting use, particularly during cooling periods. most important factors shadow factor, which greatly affected by plants. Simulating facade foliar density using Revit a...

Insufficient airflow in the cavity of Double Skin façade (DSF) systems has resulted overheating risk and resulting reduction thermal performance cooling dominant climates. Previous research focused more on buoyancy-driven natural ventilation, there is a lack utilising wind-driven ventilation as force for heat dispersion from cavity. Additionally, geometrical features wind direction influential ...
