Energy Performance Evaluation of a Ventilated Façade System through CFD Modeling and Comparison with International Standards

Ventilated façades can help to reduce summer building thermal loads and, therefore, energy consumption due to air-conditioning systems thanks to the combined effect of the solar radiation reflection and the natural or forced ventilation into the cavity. The evaluation of ventilated façades behavior...
