Calibration of DSF model for real-time control

Abstract

Double Skin Façades are complex fenestration systems capable to control solar heat gain and ventilation in buildings. Due to the high flexibility of such innovative components, having energy models able to replicate the thermal behaviour of the Double Skin Facades is of utmost importance for their optimal control and integration with building automation strategies. In this context, a numerical model has been developed and validate within the experimental data. The methodological steps are presented in this work and in the last section, the potential applications of the model are discussed.
