Abstract:Double skin façades are adaptive envelopes that aim to improve building energy consumption and comfort performance. Their adaptive principle relies on the dynamic management of the cavity's ventilation flow and the shading devices, which can integrate with the environmental systems. This research demonstrates the possibility of modifying existing buildings to study unconventional building envelope solutions. Scenarios A and B show insignificantly decreasing measures in air velocity, relative humidity, and air … Show more
