Simulation and experimental verification of energy saving effect of passive preheating natural ventilation double skin façade

Abstract

In recent years, energy efficiency and energy saving strategies have become priorities for energy policy in most countries, and green energy saving buildings has attracted more attention in the worldwide. The use of passive energy saving natural ventilation strategy can improve the effect of building energy saving and improve the internal microenvironment of the building. This paper introduces and analyzes the passive preheating natural ventilation double skin facade (DSF) comprehensively. The influence of the structural parameters of the double skin facade in cold season ventilation on the preheating ventilation effect is discussed on the basis of the discussion and experiment of an actual double skin facade office building. Further, the energy-saving effect of the passive preheating natural ventilation double skin facade is simulated and verified. The effect of structural parameters of DSF in cold season on the thermal performance is summarized. These corresponding results could provide some reference for the buildings in the similar climate regions.

Evaluating the potential energy savings of residential buildings and utilizing solar energy in the middle region of Saudi Arabia – Case study

“…Thus this initiative reduces the size of the mechanical air-condition (A/C) appliance (St Clair, 2009). However, shading can be achieved in various ways and results in energy savings ranging from 10 to 40% (Al-Shaalan et al, 2014) and (Hou et al, 2020).…”

Proposing Alternative Solutions to Enhance Natural Ventilation Rates in Residential Buildings in the Cfa Climate Zone of Rasht

“…There are numerous variations in the construction types for DSBs; in this research, due to sample case limitations, the Twin Face System is used (Figure 7). Shameri et al [19] conducted a review study regarding DSF and examined various positive aspects of this system such as optimization, glare, cost, durability, natural ventilation [20], daylighting [21], energy efficiency [22], and aspects on the facade. DSFs have recently become common in some countries, enabling the possibility of controlling the…”

Experimental Study on Airflow and Temperature Predicting in a Double Skin Façade in Hot and Cold Seasons in Romania

“…A recent study [32] investigated the evolution of building energy retrofit via doubleskin and responsive façades, to show the development and adaptability to the current NZEB requirements. Hou et al [33] investigated how constructional features affect the behavior of double skin façades (DSFs). In a review containing nearly 70 scientific articles on mechanically and naturally ventilated DSFs tested in different countries and climates (but none from Romania), it was established that complex interactions between more than one parameter at a time are primarily unexplored.…”
