Emerging Applications and Trends of Double-Skin Facades

چکیده
© 2010 enclos Double-skin facades have historically been more common among European high-rises in part because energy prices are significantly higher in Europe than in the United States. The use of double-skin facades (DSF) in the United States for commercial buildings presents a variety of challenges and impediments, including a longer payback period on initial investment. An emerging trend in double-skin facades is the divergence of approaches related to scale. Many designs can be separated into modular systems, or a single multi-story cavity. In the United States recent applications of double-skin facades include educational institutions and residential high-rises. This paper presents an overview of the challenges of double-skin facades systems in the United States. Additionally, detailed case studies of four recent double-skin facade systems are presented.

متن کاملNodal network and CFD simulation of airflow and heat transfer in double skin facades with blinds
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, ...

The utilisation preference of glazed facades in the hot regions is accompanied by serious environmental and economic impacts. Attempts are continuing to fulfil an optimum balance between minimising heat gains and maximising daylighting benefits; in an economical approach. This study was conducted in Egypt, where a real case study was investigated to evaluate the thermo-visual performance of a b...
