Experimental Evaluation of a Climate Fa©ade: Energy Efficiency and Thermal Comfort Performance
A wide experimental campaign on a climate fa(c)ade with a mechanically ventilated air gap has been carried out at the Department of Energetics at Politecnico di Torino.Measurements were performed by means of the TWINS (Testing Window Innovative Systems) test facility,consisting of two outdoor cells,one used as a reference,the other adopting different configurations of active fa(c)ade.The energy efficiency of the fa(c)ade and the thermal comfort implications have been evaluated considering the ability to pre-heat the ventilation air in winter season,the ability to remove part of the solar load during the summer season,analyzing normalized daily energies through the fa(c)ade and the normalized surface temperature of the inner glass.The improvement of performance by varying its configuration and operative conditions (changing the airflow rate,the shading device and the internal glazing) has been investigated.
