[esp-r] Suggestions for Double Facade Modeling

[Ömer Moltay]

Dear esp-r Users,

We would like to simulate a 43 storey high office building (located in a 
Mediterrenean climate) with double facade for energy calculation 
purposes. The double facade is a single cavity on all four sides of the 
building and from first floor to the top floor. The depth of the cavity 
ranges between 3 - 5 meters. The design intent is to ventilate it via 
thermal buoyancy and also operable windows on the exterior skin 
(automatic control). No natural ventilation of the office interiors or 
night time cooling is foreseen at the moment. We would like to analyse 
the best ways of design and operation and see how much we can decrease 
the HVAC cooling / heating running costs.

We intend to use esp-r and DOE/eQuest for this. I would appreciate any 
suggestions on how to approach this task.

Thank you,
