In high performance office new buildings and renovations nowadays it is common practice to use multiple façade technology.
Zeiler, W.; Verdonschot, J.; Boxem, G.
The main decisions concerning thermal comfort and energyefficiency of buildings are made in the early stages of the architectural design.

Psychometric diagram, or diagram of humid air, was establishedby three authors in a period of 10 years, very possible independent from one another.
Todorovic, B.
Many schools today have a need for artificial cooling over the year but most of the classrooms do not have any cooling capacity installed. This fact results in high room temperatures as well as poor thermal comfort.
Wigö, H.
As the EPBD related regulations can not cover all possible kind of new technologies, Member States have to develop “principle of equivalence” procedures, in order to allow the assessment of the systems not covered by the standard calculation proce
