主 题:double skin facade shaft box window facade building envelope building simulation climate design energy savings
摘 要:As a symbol of green architecture,double skin facade(DSF)represents a design which possesses many energy saving features,but due to the complexity of the system,the real performances and benefits have been difficult to *** objective of this study was to inform the applicability of DSFs,and contribute to the positive impacts of DSF *** study compared and contrasted energy savings in a temperate climate,where heating was the dominant energy strategy,and in a subtropical climate,where cooling spaces was the dominant *** paper focused on a university office building with a west facing shaft box window *** research method was a paired analysis of simulation studies which compared the energy performance of a set of buildings in two different *** results showed a good agreement with measurements undertaken in the exiting building during a two-week *** results specified that DSFs are capable of almost 50%energy savings in temperate and 16%in subtropical *** these indicated DSFs are more suitable for temperate climates than warmer regions,the amount of energy savings in subtropical climates were also ***,due to the costs of DSFs and potential loss of leasable floor area,investigations into other feasible ventilation options are necessary before final building design decisions are made.
