“…The double-skin façade can be considered a better option to use in the Australian context, as these façade systems have better U and SHGC values. The study by Yanjin et al [207] presents that double skin façade can achieve lower U values, such as 2.13 W/m 2 •K and SHGC values close to 0.25 [207]. In addition, Siliag et al [208] presented that photovoltaic-double skin façade use in Australia can produce energy savings of 34.1%, 86%, and 106%, respectively, in Darwin, Sydney, and Canberra.…”

Currently, several façade systems exist to enable sustainable building design. The biggest challenges for façade designers are to identify new technology and effective, sustainable systems that enable high structural and sustainable performance while producing a good aesthetic. Therefore, this paper aims to review the performance of existing façade systems for sustainable building designs and their limitations. Among modern façade systems, Double Skin Façades (DSF) show promise for energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and aesthetics. However, they face challenges like sound transmission between floors, higher initial costs, and outer skin vibrations. Furthermore, adaptive façades gained popularity for their active methods of achieving energy performance and comfort benefits but encountered complexities in design and construction, demanding codes and standards. Green wall systems enhance air quality and aesthetics, while photovoltaic façade systems reduce electricity costs, but both systems face higher initial costs and maintenance challenges. The review indicates that to produce a sustainable building design, architects, engineers, and builders must consider a sustainable façade system that enables high energy efficiency, less cost, better occupant comfort, and fewer environmental impacts.

One of the key issues in twentieth-century architecture is the energy problem and daily rise in environmental pollution brought on by the creation of greenhouse gases, particularly in the construction industry. The purpose of the research that follows is to investigate how well buildings heat up while also updating double-skinned facades to ensure thermal comfort for the residents while using the least amount of energy possible. The thoughtful design of a building's exterior is one of the most crucial ways to conserve energy in that structure. The finest choice for controlling the interplay between the interior and exterior spaces is a ‘double-skin facade’. Double-skin facades have been used more frequently recently to increase transparency in both building renovations and new construction. Although glare issues may worsen, double-skin facades improve lighting levels and the outside view. When comparing a typical glass facade to one with an additional layer of glazing, it is possible to reduce heat loss and outside noise. A very critical concern appears to be the protection of external solar shading devices against wind and deterioration. This paper reviews and discusses the earlier research on double-skin building facade systems. The evaluation of a double-skin facade system for long-term building envelope or infrastructure development is the main theme of the paper.
