Double-skin facades open up new possibilities for clients and planners seeking creative new designs that are intelligently adapted to environmental conditions. This publication gives a comprehensive treatment of the subject, providing both a theoretical framework for the use of this type of construction and numerous illustrations of practical examples. The book studies not only issues such as acoustic and thermal insulation, aerophysics and facade construction, but also the question of economic viability. Double-skin facades have been used mostly in the construction of large buildings such as the debis headquarters on Potsdamer Platz in Berlin. However they can be used with equal success in smaller buildings as a means of reducing the ingress of external noise and improving ventilation.

The book provides an in-depth study not only of issues such as acoustic and thermal insulation, aerophysics, and facade construction, but also of the quesion of economic viability. Numerous illustrations and plans offer clear and precise insights into the construction of this new development in building design. Up to now double-skin facades have been used mainly for large buildings such as the debis headquarters on Potsdamer Platz in Berlin. They can be used, however, with equal success for smaller buildings as a means of reducing the ingress of external noise and improving ventilation.

Professionals only,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Double-Skin Facades: Integrated Planning (Architecture) (Hardcover)
This is a somewhat technical book for construction professionals. Not for idly paging through, despite its attractive, even stylish, execution (although my copy's hard cover was printed upside down). Only commercial architecture, only buildings in Germany.
