Analyze Matlab model of energy efficiency in double skin facades

Abstract

The aim of this research is to make a more friendly and accurate MATLAB model to simulate the behavior of the air between double skin façade. The thermal behavior of the façade was studied taking into account several physical parameters such as perforation rate, colors and materials, temperature of exterior and the solar irradiance. The theoretical model was built in Matlab based on energy balance of an enclosure composed of sheet metal, air chambers and glass.
