A Study on Appropriate Temperature of Phase Change Material applicable to Double Skin Facade System for Heating Energy Load Reduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study was conducted to apply a phase change material (PCM) to the inner skin part of a double skin facade to positively utilize natural solar heat so that a double skin facade may not only counteract external environmental changes but also positively introduce external natural solar energy, highlighting the advantages of a double skin facade. However, PCM is currently used by impregnating to a wall or a board of a building. Studies on the determination of an appropriate PCM temperature according to the applications are only conducted with respect to a wall or a board. Applying a PCM to an inner part of a double skin facade system involves variables such as impregnation method and appropriate temperature. These are the properties of a PCM, which are important variables directly affecting the room temperature depending on the mixing ratios and applications targets. This study was conducted with respect to window surfaces having a direct impact on the inside and the outside of a building to select a double skin facade system having excellent energysaving performance and determine a PCM temperature which is applicable to a double skin facade, verifying the indoor energy-saving effect depending on the application of a PCM to the inner part of a double skin facade.

متن کاملDouble skin glass façade and its effect on saving energy
One of the most important methods of saving energy and providing indoor comfort conditions of buildings is the careful design of the façades. A “double skin glass façade” is optimally one of the best options that control the heat interaction between indoor and outdoor spaces. Two kinds of heating energy is usually transmitted through exterior envelope “conduction” and “radiation”. Double skin g...

Passive solar systems such as solar chimneys need solar radiation in order to work. Therefore, they cannot present stable natural ventilation when solar energy vanishes: to have a more robust and stable condition, solar energy should be stored during the day and released back during the night. Phase change materials can save additional thermal energy during the day and release it during the...
