Evaluierung und Optimierung einer doppelschaligen Fassade mit Hilfe von Simulationen

Evaluation and optimization of a double skin façade with the help of computational simulations.

Natural ventilated double skin façades still prove to be trendy design choices for multi-story office buildings with large glazed surfaces. The construction design details of these façades have a significant impact on the summer overheating of the air in the façade cavity, in which the shading is positioned also. Therefore it is recommended to investigate and optimize the parameters of the double skin façade concerning the summer temperature conditions. The usual methods of standard building physical planning have limited application possibilities for optimizing these kinds of systems. Therefore in the following article through the example of the K°&°H Bank, Budapest, we are going to explain how the modern simulation techniques can support the constructional design of double skin façades first by evaluation, then subsequently, by optimization.
