The heat flow rejection from double skin facade buffer zones by aeration

The object of research is a ventilated facade with air buffer zones. The problem of heat flow rejection from double skin facade buffer zones by aeration is urgent to reduce the cooling systems load of buildings and reduce energy costs in the summer period. Methods. The article presents a method for calculating heat flow rejection from double-skin facade buffer zones by aeration. Results. The dependence of the heat flow rejection from double skin facade buffer zones by aeration from different internal air temperatures is established. The calculation of the heat flow rejection from double skin facade buffer zones by aeration of the Tower high-rise building «Lakhta Center» located in the cold continental climate zone (Dfb) is presented. The results can be adapted to calculate the heat flow rejection from double skin facade buffer zones by aeration for any façade building with air buffer zones for any climatic conditions.
