THE IMPACT OF THE DOUBLE SKIN FACADE ON THE THERMAL AND ENERGY EFFICIENT OF BUILDINGS (original) (raw)

2021, 1st International Conference : New Trends on Innovative Construction Materials

The mastering of the thermal ambient in buildings across the facade while minimizing the energy consumption is considered a challenge for designers. Nowadays, this challenge has become more difficult to meet especially with the current climatic and economic conditions that have made energy performance a global requirement in all areas, particularly in the building sector. The facade of a building is a very important architectural element, which influences several dimensions of the building, in particular, the appearance, the comfort of the users, the environmental protection and the durability of the construction. From a material and thermal point of view, it is, by excellence, a place of interaction and thermal exchange between the interior and the exterior. The performance of which depends on both material, conceptual and technical factors. The aim of this research is to study the thermal effect and the energy performance of the double skin facade "DSF" in a desert climate (the city of Biskra). This study is based on an experimental approach on a scale model where ambient and external surface temperatures were measured in test cells. A numerical simulation using the dynamic thermal software "TRNSYS 17" completed the study in order to assess the impact of the "DSF" on the energy efficiency of the construction. The results showed that the double skin facade is an efficient and durable device because it positively influences the thermal and energy performance of the facade especially in summer while preserving the environment.
