Glazing daylighting performance and Trombe wall thermal performance of a modular façade system in four different Portuguese cities [PDF]
, 2015 This paper reports on a new façade system that uses passive solutions in the search for energy efficiency. The differentials are the versatility and flexibility of the modules, which are important advantages of the system.

Impact of Rustication Joints on Lightweight Insulation in Ventilated Facade Systems
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016 One of the problems of ventilated facades systems is the emission of heat-insulating layer. Emission is a process of separation or removal of material’s particles from insulation by virtue of different factors.
