Results from CFD computation suggest that the combined effect of the shading of the external wall and the ventilation by the natural convection into the air gap may result in a significative reduction of the heat load during the summer period and a reduction in global energy consumption to get internal comfort in the building when compared with an unventilated one, although the rate of energy savings achieved is relatively sensitive to the combination of environmental conditions. The obtained results seem to indicate that for the whole year, the use of the studied ventilated façade could provide a global energy saving up to 13%when compared with the use of a standard non-ventilated façade within the orientation and climatic conditions framework considered.application/pdf20 p.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPartinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess10.1007/978-3-319-32013-7_10
