Double facade

摘要

Double fagades are attracting great interest the glass industry. It's no wonder why: double the fagade often means double the glazing. Apart from square feet, double fagades, ventilated fagades, double skins or environmental second skins offer a futuristic aesthetic that is appealing to architects, tenants and building owners. There is a common belief that second skins reduce cooling loads, allow for better ventilation, improve natural daylighting, increase acoustical control and reduce heating energy. In many cases they probably do, however it's impossible to be certain just how effective the extra fagade might be.
