Abstract
Ventilated façades help to ventilate the humidity out of buildings constructions and also help to protect interiors against overheating during the summer seasons. The efficiency of the ventilated façade construction depends on a design of the ventilated cavity and a cladding type. The air flowing around the façade construction may influence the air velocity in the ventilated cavity. This study presents the experimental assessment of the wind influence on the cavity air velocity in the different designed ventilated cavities. The experimental assessment is based on two sections of ventilated façade constructions with different type of the ventilated cavity design. Both sections are fitted by small size claddings with open joints between the adjacent cladding parts. The cavity temperature and airflow differences are assessed during the one week period for the experimental setting. Results show that the effect of wind is significantly different for open joint ventilated cavities that are differently designed.
