Building Simulation, 2007, Beijing, China
Double-skin facade (DSF) is an additional glass skin on the outside wall of the building. In this study a mechanically ventilated and equipped with solar protections (venetian blinds) facade was studied. The airflow inside the facade as well as opening/closing degree of the blinds was controlled in order to increase annual energy performance for both heating and cooling. Numerical simulations for climatic data of Lyon (France) showed good performance of studied DSF compared to a traditional façade.
