“…Although empirical validation procedures, based on real metering and auditing data, are considered as very reliable procedures [47], they are often used for the validation of tools and mathematical models developed for simulating specific phenomena. In this regard, the literature shows several examples of such a procedure applied to the validation of models relative to thermally activated building systems [48][49][50], daylighting or HVAC interactions with respect to window or solar gain [51,52], double skin facades or ventilated cavity [53][54][55][56], activities of occupants and their interaction with the building loads [57], etc. It is worth noting that though experimental validations of single mathematical models for the simulation of the energy performance of a specific new building's technology, component or material, can be often easily carried out, the experimental validation of whole BEPS tools is mostly unfeasible.…”

This paper focuses on the experimental validation of a building energy performance simulation tool by means of a comparative analysis between numerical results and measurements obtained on a real test room. The empirical tests were carried out for several months under variable weather conditions and in free-floating indoor temperature regime (switched off HVAC system). Measurements were exploited for validating an in-house simulation tool, implemented in MatLab and called DETECt, developed for dynamically assessing the energy performance of buildings. Results show that simulated indoor air and surface room temperatures resulted in very good agreement with the corresponding experimental data; the detected differences were often lower than 0.5 °C and almost always lower than 1 °C. Very low mean absolute and percentage errors were always achieved. In order to show the capabilities of the developed simulation tool, a suitable case study focused on innovative solar radiation high-reflective coatings, and infrared low-emissivity materials is also presented. The performance of these coatings and materials was investigated through a comparative analysis conducted to evaluate their heating and cooling energy saving potentials. Simulation results, obtained for the real test cell considered as equipped with such innovative coatings and material, show that for the weather zone of Naples a 5% saving is obtained both in summer and in winter by simultaneously adopting a high-reflectance coating and a low- emissivity plaster for roof/external walls and interior walls, respectively.

“…High precipitation, humidity, and solar radiation make buildings in such location require a durable material which suitable with climate and available resources. Blanco et al (2014) studied perforated sheet metal material in the building under Spain's weather condition. Theoretical model and experiment in the material were carried to examine the behaviour of perforated sheet metal DSF classified by colour, metal material type, and perforation rate.…”

The construction of a sustainable building in Indonesia has increased in recent years. Middle-to high-rise buildings are encouraged to enhance its performance to reduce energy demands. With maximum temperature 34°C, most of the buildings in Indonesia utilize mechanical air conditioning to achieve indoor thermal comfort. In this research, the performance of campus building with Double Skin Façade (DSF) in Indonesia would be quantitatively assessed and simulated by utilizing Autodesk Revit and Green Building Studio. In respect to façade material, actual cavity width, inner and outer layer façade type, and also weather condition, these simulations are expected to produce comparison result between four DSF material configurations which are perforated metal, single glazing, double glazing, and triple glazing. From the simulation, the results show that perforated metal DSF could consume 5%-23.16% more energy for space cooling compared to building with glass DSF.

“…Grabe (2002) proposed a prediction tool for modelling the temperature´s behaviour and flow characteristics in DSF, and Manz (2002) introduced a numerical algorithm for predicting heat transfer by natural convection in cavities of façade elements. Most recent scientific works are based on computational fluid dynamics models, which allow for detailed airflow study in DSTF, as compared to network or other models (Mingotti et al, 2011;Nore et al, 2010;Blanco et al, 2014). In particular, CFD is an interesting method, especially when dealing with very complicated airflows across venetian blinds, air recirculation, or in cases in which the velocity profile is not symmetrical (Grabe, 2002;Manz, 2002;Zeng et al, 2012).…”
