“…Since the beginning of the 2000s, the ALADIN model has been used at the Centre National de Recherches Météorologiques (CNRM) with the name CNRM-ALADIN. Various works, centred on the evaluation of the accuracy and effectiveness of this model over differently sized domains, underline the good capability in the estimation of climatic parameters on both spatial and temporal scales inside the European area [49][50][51].…”

In recent years, the need to make the built environment more resilient and adaptable to climate change has become increasingly evident. In Europe, this aspect concerns the vast majority of existing buildings, which present several deficiencies from the energy-efficiency point of view, considering they were designed before the introduction of modern energy codes. Nowadays, it is possible to retrofit existing buildings using advanced and high-efficient technologies such as Double Skin Façades (DSFs). The research aims to evaluate the use of properly designed DSFs for the energy restoration of existing buildings. In detail, various DSF configurations are applied to a residential building located in central Italy and investigated under present and future climate conditions, estimated through regional climate models. The results underline that all the analysed Double Skin Façades confirm to be a useful option, and, in particular, the Multi-Storey typology allows drastic energy needs decrement. Moreover, the general increase in temperatures and solar radiations could affect the building energy performance, and the insertion of DSF can mitigate the climate change effects, reducing the predicted energy consumption and ensuring better behaviours than the building in its original state.

“…The Aire Limitée Adaptation dynamique Développement InterNational (ALADIN), used at the Centre National de Recherches Météorologiques (CNRM) with the name CNRM-ALADIN and available in Euro-CORDEX was selected in the present work [53,54]. This limited-area bi-spectral model was chosen due to its capability to predict with good approximation climatic parameters both spatial and temporal scales inside the European area [55,56]. Thus, data with a 3 h time frequency were extracted from the nearest grid point to Pescara, which is 7.50 km from the case study, at 42 • 28 57 northern latitude and 14 • 08 07 eastern longitude.…”

In recent years, the need to make the built environment more resilient and adaptable to climate change has become essential. In Europe, this aspect concerns most existing buildings with several deficiencies from the energy efficiency point of view, considering they were designed before the introduction of modern codes. Among the various strategies for building energy retrofitting, Double-Skin Façades (DSFs) have gained attention due to their potential to improve the building performance and inhabitants’ comfort. This research aims to evaluate the use of adequately designed DSFs for the energy restoration of buildings. In detail, various DSF configurations are applied to a residential building located in Central Italy and investigated under present and future climate conditions, estimated through regional climate models. The installation of multi-layered façades, particularly the Multi-Storey typology, greatly reduces energy consumption and increases the expected comfort rates. When the selected configuration was considered, the results underline a decrease in the annual building energy requirement of about 37–56% up to 42–59%, respectively, for 2030 and 2070. Moreover, using multi-layer façades can increase indoor minimum operative temperatures up to 3.8% during the coldest months and reduce the maximum summer ones by 1.9–3.8%, raising comfort levels.
