Abstract
Double Skin Façade has been recognised as an advanced façade technology for improving buildings' thermal performance. However, the integration of DSF with a building in the Mixed-Mode ventilation has not adequately been studied yet. Hence, this study develops a control algorithm based on the adaptive thermal comfort model to control openings operation in the MM building utilising the energy management system module of EnergyPlus. This study reveals the energy-saving potential of DSF compared to Single Skin Facade in two Australian climates. DSF showed an energy saving potential of 10.2 per cent in Brisbane and 9.4 per cent in Melbourne. Additional energy savings of 7.4 per cent and 9.9 per cent were achieved using tinted glass as the external skin compared to clear glass in Brisbane and Melbourne.
