One of the elements that we have noticed in Taiwanese
residential buildings is that there is a big energy consumption
due to a massive use of air conditioning throughout the year.
This façade design for a residential building of 100 m. high
addressed these issues. After a study of temperature, relative
humidity, wind speed, global horizontal illumination, sky
coverage, etc. this façade scheme guarantees a 34% of air
conditioning reduction throughout every year compared to
the original building design given by the client. This is not only
an important energy and cost saving, it also optimizes the
sustainability and comfort feeling in the building.
