Energy Performance of Double Skin Façade – Mosul City as Case Study

The Double Skin Fa ade is one of the key strategys for passive solar systems since it helps to lower building energy demand, which in turn reduces the need for fossil fuels and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.This research focuses on this strategy because it also offers protection from wind and noise while providing natural light and ventilation.This project aims to explore an environmental solution for the Mechatronics Engineering Department building at Mosul University, which was built in 1963 and renovated and reopened in 2013.The "Double Wall" strategy will be applied to a virtual building with the same design to evaluate its effectiveness in improving the building's efficiency, the computer simulation program (Autodesk Ecotect Analysis 2010) is used in the study provided by experimental data for the climatic conditions of the city of Mosul in Iraq in two cases-the first with a single skin, and the second with a Double Skin Fa ade of the corridor type and for eight directions.Due to their effectiveness in lowering the energy loads spent on cooling in the summer and in all directions, research has demonstrated the effectiveness of applying fa ades with the corridor.Additionally, Thus, the efficiency of the corridors fa ades with have demonstrated their effectiveness in lowering cooling system's electrical energy consumption for all directions.
