Original Abstract

Nowadays, double-skin facades represent a distinctive architectural element in modern buildings. However, their real thermal impact on the overall building energy performance can be enhanced by the facades inter-nal modifications. The main modifications include the dimensions of the facade cavity, the intensity of the solar radiation, the combination of the optical parameters of both the transparent and opaque parts, as well as the possibility to have a natural or forced air flow movement in the cavity. The presented paper is focused on the quantification of the different levels of the above-mentioned factors as the boundary conditions for the thermal performance of the air flow movement in the facade cavity through its overall height.
