Description
Double Skin Façade Buildings: A Climatic-Based Exploration This comprehensive guide provides architects with a practical platform for designing and constructing high-performance double skin façade projects. With a focus on buildings in different climatic contexts, the book offers tools to evaluate design performance and achieve specific sustainable goals. The DSF concept has been successfully applied in European buildings, but its potential in other climates is still being explored. This book takes readers on an on-site tour of eight double skin façade buildings in the US, featuring interviews with architects, engineers, owners, and users. By examining the challenges and opportunities of integrating DSF into projects, this guide aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of its benefits. By analyzing thermal comfort parameters through building simulation tools, architects can determine whether the application of DSF in different climates will provide better thermal comfort. This book offers valuable insights and practical guidance for architects looking to incorporate double skin façades into their designs.
