(Ebook) Exploring Design Principles of Bioclimatic Architecture and Double Skin Facades as A Convincing Tool for Energy Saving by Dr. SERTAC ILTER

Different climates of different regions do not provide the required
appropriate climatic conditions to ensure thermal comfort all year long.
The goal to be pursued is to achieve the best interaction between
climate, building and user behaviour. Bioclimatic buildings exploit
climate in order to offer their occupants the most appropriate
comfortable conditions. Especially, variations in hours of sunshine, in
temperature, and rainfall of a particular climate signify establishing
various strategies according to seasonal differences of particular
region. In winter time assembling most of solar gain, and protecting the
users from the cold (heating) are important. In summer;
occupants/users need more protection from the sun (cooling). Thus,
bioclimatic buildings reside in tune with these natural rhythms through
consulting the most of natural lighting. This paper is aimed to enable
architects to rediscover the principles of bioclimatic architecture and
the modern technical and architectural means to achieve them. The
study persuades adjusting the Double Skin Façades (DSF) design as the
disciplined approach of ensuring the major strategies of Bioclimatic
Architecture. Apparently, the study seeks three delineated bioclimatic
approach daylight, thermal comfort and natural ventilation in DSF
systems. The study views the DFS systems as the potential inclination for
bioclimatic architecture ecological principles. On this basis, a
connection between Bioclimatic Architecture and DFS systems are
asserted and moderated within a generalized task.
