Modelling Natural Ventilation in Double Skin Facade
Energy Procedia, 2015 AbstractThe assessment of the energy performance of buildings with Double Skin Facades (DSF) requires proper dynamic simulation tools, based on models capable of predicting heat and mass transfer in the DSF under variable boundary conditions, at the price of a reasonable computational effort.Many DSF simplified models have been developed and ...
