Naddaf, Mohammed Siyamand,Baper, Salahaddin Yasin (2023) The role of double-skin facade configurations in optimizing building energy performance in Erbil city.

Despite the energy-saving potential of NVDSFs, this research examined the effectiveness of the Double-Skin Facade (DSF) system by optimizing its geometric configurations to enhance naturalventilationandindoor air quality in office buildings. Using Butterfly plugin inside grasshopper software, compared the performance of the DSF system to a base case without DSF in Amman, Jordan. The ...

The researchers also emphasised that naturally ventilated systems work more efficiently on south-facing facades. Similarly,NaddafandBaper[12] analysed the impact of different DSF configurations on building energy performance in Erbil, Iraq, and revealed that naturalventilation-assisted systems significantly reduced cooling loads in summer.

As reported byNaddafandBaper[144], an annual cooling demand reduction between 9 and 14% was observed when DSF was used. In 2017, Zanetti et al. [145] reported an improvement related to the integration of colored PV modules into large-scale case studies, such as offices, residential, and public buildings.
