Ventilated facade and energy efficiency

open access: yesINGENIOUS
Buildings are listed as the biggest consumers of energy and therefore technology in the field of construction has been improved and oriented towards ecological, recyclable and energy efficient materials. One of the best findings in terms of energy efficiency is the use of ventilated facades in buildings.

Heat transfer analysis of an integrated double skin façade and phase change material blind system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this study, the heat transfer in an integrated double skin facade (DSF) and phase change material (PCM) blind system has been theoretically analysed. Both heat transfer and airflow models with CFD methods have been developed for the integrated DSF and
