Abstract:
DOUBLE SKIN FACADES -STRUCTURES AND BUILDING PHYSICS

ABSTRACT

At the Helsinki University of Technology, an extensive research project entitled "Metal-Glass Structures in Double Facades: Architecture, Lighting, Building Physics and Structural Performance" has been started and will run during the years 2000-2002. The aim of the project is to develop design and product development bases for metal-glass double-skin facade systems in order to ensure their satisfactory performance in Nordic climate conditions. The research has been started with field measurements for building physics phenomena and surveying of experiences in formerly built double-skin facades. On the basis of this first study, the basic analysis will be carried out. In order to deal with the structures in the further research, the double facades have been divided into functional models of architectural design and building physics and into structural models based on support and stiffening systems.
