Double-skin facades
Double-skin facades (DSF) are used to better the thermal energy performance of facades of buildings with high glazing fractions. It is made of an external glazing offset from an internal glazing integrated into a curtain wall. It commonly features a controllable shading system located in the cavity between the two glazing systems and allows air to flow through a cavity via natural or mechanical ventilation and is used to help moderate building thermal loads. This allows the reduction of heat gain of the building. DSF is used in multistory buildings on one or more sides of the building where the heat of the sun is really significant. DSF thus provides natural ventilation and used to prevent the loss of heat by trapping solar gains in the cavity during heating seasons. However, DSF has a high initial implementation costs and uncertainty about their value.
