Double skin façade: Modelling technique and influence of venetian blinds on the airflow and heat transfer

A numerical analysis of the air ventilation management and assessment of the behavior of double skin facades

“…Ji et al [18] investigated the coupled heat transfers by convection, conduction and radiation in a DSF. Recently Darco et al [19], proposed a methodology for modeling the solar irradiation with a CFD tool. The authors deducts that the slat angle variation minimizes the solar transmittance into the interior environment by 85%.…”

A Practical Tool Used to Compute Thermal Performance of Glass Curtain Walls

“…Blackbody radiation array [Q] and effective radiation angle coefficient matrix [F] can be calculated from Eqs. (15) and (16) …”

“…Some of the glass windows even have shade facilities such as shutters. 15 Heat transfer performance of glass system models mentioned above can be obtained easily through simple calculations, so this paper does not describe them in detail. But, the support system of glass curtain wall in general has complex cross-sections, in which the heat transfer analysis is more difficult.…”

Potential of Utilizing Different Natural Cooling Sources to Reduce the Building Cooling Load and Cooling Energy Consumption: A Case Study in Urumqi

“…Cooling pipes are built in the venetian blinds of the window and the interlayer of the wall. The materials in the window are selected based on [23,24]. The glass has different characteristics in long-wave and short-wave bands.…”
