New-age facades-Double Skin Architecture
Abstract
A modern building system consisting of two skins is the double-skin facade. The double wall allows the air to flow through within the intermediate cavity. The cavity can be ventilated through a fan or mechanical system. The air flow is decided based on the climatic conditions, usage within the building and buildings cooling techniques. The double skin is mostly of glass and the gap can vary from 20cm to 2metres apart. The cavity can be mounted with a solar shadin device for safety and heat extraction purposes.
