Double Skin Facade - a Solution for Reducing Energy Consumption of Residential Buildings in Romania

摘要

One of the many ways of reducing the energy consumption for non-residential buildings is to adopt the closer solution with double skin facade. The low energy consumption methods for buildings are: 1. during cold weather times, the limitation of heat losses by increasing the thermal insulation of building envelope and the increase of inside heating flux through positive thermal solar inputs; 2. during hot weather times, reducing the energy consumption for cooling process through recovering the renewable coldness during the nights (night cooling); 3. during transition periods, the decrease of energy consumption for cooling process through extension of time periods for natural ventilation; 4. during the whole year, by extending of the natural lighting.
