Modelling double skin façades (DSFs) in whole-building energy simulation tools: Validation and inter-software comparison of a mechanically ventilated single-story DSF
Elena Catto Lucchino,Adrienn Gelesz,Adrienn Gelesz,Kristian Skeie,Giovanni Gennaro,András Reith,András Reith,Valentina Serra,Francesco Goia +8 more
TL;DR: BES tools can simulate the performance of DSF systems over long periods, however, their use alone is not recommended when the simulation's scope is to replicate and study short-term phenomena and dynamic aspects, such as sizing the building’s HVAC system.
