Climate facade
A climate facade is an innovative solution for regulating the indoor climate and recovering heat. This facade consists of two layers: an outer layer of glass and an inner layer with a non-insulated wall. This system effectively transforms the wall into a large, slow-acting radiator.
How does it work?
When the sun shines on the outer glass layer, the air in the gap is heated. This heated air then circulates along the inner wall, causing the wall to absorb the heat and gradually release it to the interior space. There are also windows in the inner wall that you can open to let the warm air in quickly. In winter, this process provides additional heating; in summer, the gap buffers overheating.
In addition, a climate facade offers the possibility of heat recovery. The heat stored in the interstitial space can be recovered and reused in the building, contributing to an energy-efficient indoor climate. The system acts as a natural buffer against temperature changes, improving building comfort and reducing energy costs.
