Abstract

Ventilated double-skin facades can provide a means to reduce energy use, enhance occupant comfort, provide natural light and ventilation, and ensure greater control over the workplace atmosphere in mutli-storey buildings. These building envelope systems are also known as twinface facade, active envelope, multiple-skin facade, double-leaf facade, double envelope, or advanced facades. This paper provides an overview of existing classifications published in English literature to assist in understanding the differences and similarities that emerge in the determination and depiction of the classifications. It clarifies the salient system characteristics and configurations and suggests that the disparate nature of many previous classifications and terminologies can be addressed by widening the classification’s scope to adopt a broader, inclusive approach to the classification. The paper proposes that the term ventilated double-skin facade be used as a basis for the development of the typology and suggests recommendations for a consolidated broad classification.
