Abstract text:
Energy consumption reduction in the residential sector represents an assumed objective by the European Union. In recent years, attention to passive ventilation solutions for walls and roofs has greatly increased because ventilated systems permit energy savings. The choice for the best ventilated façade geometry must be investigated experimentally because on site measurements are affected by atmospheric conditions while laboratory measurements permit a greater control of the influencing parameters. In this paper the element realized in the Civil and Industrial Engineering Department laboratory is presented with some preliminary results concerning air velocities, temperature distributions and thermal resistances in the channel.
Key Words:
ventilated façades; full scale testing; air channel; air velocity.
