Metal-Glass Facades with an Integrated Heating/Cooling/Ventilation System
An external wall construction, called an integrated facade, which includes heating, cooling and ventilation for the room inside, was the object of the study. The purposes of this study included the indication of the benefits, drawbacks and limitations of this wall with regard to its engineering efficiency and in a cost comparison for the investment and operational costs against other heating and ventilation systems, and opportunities or restrictions in constructional and architectural design. Moreover, hints were to be given for the restoration opportunities concerning existing metal/glass outside walls with the aid of this integrated facade in buildings that were not air-conditioned. Closer attention was paid to the development and preconditions (heating, origins of the integrated facade), functioning and constructional design and indoor air engineering conditions. Energy-related considerations are made of the room investigated in the study, and economic efficiency comparisons drawn up. Hints for the redevelopment of buildings with the aid of the integrated facade are given, and the influences of this type of facade on room use, constructional and architectural design are stated.
