Abstract The use of Opaque Ventilated Façades (OVF) has considerably increased in
recently years as an envelope solution in a variety of building types, climates, and design …

Nations have attempted to commit to the Kyoto Protocol and effectively reduce hazardous
emissions through energy-efficient design techniques, strategies, and policies (optimized …

Facing the climate change is a common priority, due to ethical issues related to general
concept of sustainability and livable future for the next generations. Moreover, ethical aims …

Double skin façades (DSFs) have been proposed as responsive building systems to
improve the building envelope's performance. Reliable simulation of DSF performance is a …

Ventilation performance could influence thermal comfort and building energy. This study
aimed to investigate the ventilation efficiency enhanced by roof window and mechanical …

The main benefit attributed to opaque ventilated facades (OVF) is the reduction of cooling
load for the building Heating Ventilation and Cooling (HVAC) achieved through ventilation …

To reduce the costs of building operation, it is necessary to provide for the use of energy-
saving technologies at the stage of building design. This allows efficient use of material and …

A model for a building with ventilated façade was created using the software tool TRNSYS,
version 17, and airflow parameters were simulated using TRNFlow. The results obtained …

Solar energy technology applied to the building has shown a progressive trend in the
architecture sector. Building integrated with the photovoltaic thermal system is called BIPV/T …
