Abstract

Double Skin Façades are complex fenestration systems capable to control solar heat gain and ventilation in buildings. Due to the high flexibility of such innovative components, having energy models able to replicate the thermal behaviour of the Double Skin Facades is of utmost importance for their optimal control and integration with building automation strategies. In this context, a numerical model has been developed and validate within the experimental data. The methodological steps are presented in this work and in the last section, the potential applications of the model are discussed.

Highlights

  • Double Skin Façades are advanced building envelopes that could give a balanced behavior across different building domains such as energy use, thermal comfort, visual comfort and indoor air quality

  • From a modelling point of view, different approaches can be used to replicate the thermal behavior of Double Skin Facades (DSF): regarding the white box-model, they vary in order of complexity from simplified model to dynamic models

  • The present paper aims to exhibit a numerical model representing the thermal behavior of the DSF control-oriented
