The development of energy-efficient technologies at all stages a building’s life cycle is essential to achieving sustainable goals. object the study climate-adaptive façade structures with air gaps in form Trombe wall and double-skin façade. Cases using phase-change materials (PCM) photovoltaic modules (PV) are analyzed separately. research method aimed review analyze energy-saving potential fr...

designing an efficient skin for the building can minimize winter heat loss and summer heat gain. double skin façade (dsf) is a good device for achieving such a goal; but its summer overheating is a problem for using it, especially in hot-dry climates such as iran plateau. in this study, after reviewing state of the art strategies for cooling façade cavity, the effect of using some of them (such...

Buildings are large consumers of energy. In the United States of America; they constitute over 33% of the total annual energy consumption, produce 35% of the total carbon dioxide emissions and attribute 40% of landfill wastes. The building industry is also a large consumer of non-renewable materials and this trend has escalated dramatically over the past century. It is essential that we find wa...

This paper reports on the daylighting performance of switchable ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) foil in double-skin façades (DSF). In contrast to conventional glazing or static ETFE façades, moderates incident daylight and controls internal light distribution by actively responding weather conditions solar intensity. To better understand control function impact parameters such as climate, l...

Double-skin façades (DSFs) are high-efficiency systems traditionally used to improve the natural ventilation of buildings for energy-saving purposes and their aesthetic improvement. There opportunities enhance functionality by applying them building aerodynamics. This study aims at developing preliminar data set that would assist with design smart morphing facades (also known as Smorphacades). ...
