Cooling Load Reduction of Office Buildings Integrated with a Multistory Double-Skin Facade
Abstract
In this study, the usage of cooling energy in office buildings with multi-story double-skin façades (DSF) was analyzed. A verification model was constructed by measuring the temperature of the cavity air and the surface of office buildings where DSF had been installed, and by comparing the measurement results with the results of the EnergyPlus simulation model. The cooling loads of buildings that apply double-skin façades (DSF) and those that apply single-skin façade (SSF) were compared based on the verified model.
