Double Skin Curtain Wall

Double Skin Curtain Wall


The double-skin curtain wall is a system of the building consisting of two skins, or facades, placed in such a way that air flows in the intermediate cavity. The ventilation of the cavity can be natural, fan-supported or mechanical. Apart from the type of the ventilation inside the cavity, the origin and destination of the air can differ depending mostly on climatic conditions, the use, the location, the occupational hours of the building and the HVAC strategy.

The glass skins can be single or double glazing units with a distance from 20 cm up to 2 metres. Often, for protection and heat extraction reasons during the cooling period, solar shading devices are placed inside the cavity.

Performance

Thermal Insulation: The K value for thermal insulation can reach 1.5W/m2.k (Grade 8 ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑)(depending on the glass configuration)

Sound Proofing: The attenuation value of sound after passing doors can reach 45dB (Grade 6 ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑)(depending on the glass configuration)

Air Tightness: The value can reach 600Pa (Grade 8 ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑)

Water Tightness: The value can reach 700Pa (Grade 6 ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑)

Wind Load Resistance: The value can reach 5000Pa (Grade 9 ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑)

Product Highlights

1. With the effective utilization of curtain wall material and solar energy, the intelligent curtain wall efficiently regulates indoor air, temperature and light through the computer network. Thereby, the building's energy consumption is reduced and the cost is shortened.

2. The exterior layer of intelligent external respiratory double skin curtain wall consists of monolithic glass and non thermal break material while the inner one is constituted by the insulated glass and thermal break material.

3. The exterior layer of intelligent internal respiratory double skin curtain wall is enclosed completely in principle which consists of thermal break material and insulating glass while the inner one is constituted by the monolithic glass or operable window for the convenience of exterior curtain wall cleaning.

Profile Section

Product Description

The cavity between the two skins may be either naturally or mechanically ventilated. In cool climates, the solar gain within the cavity may be circulated to the occupied space to offset heating requirements, while in hot climates the cavity may be vented out of the building to mitigate solar gain and decrease the cooling load. In each case, the assumption is that a higher insulative value may be achieved by using this glazing configuration versus a conventional glazing configuration.

Studies showed that the energy performance of a building connected to a double-skin facade can be improved both in the cold and the warm season or in cold and warm climates by optimizing the ventilation strategy of the facade.
