Experimental study of a mechanically ventilated double-skin façade with venetian sun-shading device: A full-scale investigation in controlled environment [PDF]
Solar Energy, 2010 The aim of this article is to present results of an experimental campaign performed on a full-scale facility provided with a double-skin facade. The behaviour of this architectural concept is tested under controlled climatic conditions. A summer case is scrutinised under different configurations: variation of the airflow through the double-skin facade ...
