Abstract
The façade is not only the outer layer of a building that brings aesthetic beauty to the structure but also serves the function of regulating temperature, natural lighting, and ventilation for the building. Belonging to the group of passive design solutions aimed at achieving energy efficiency for the building, optimizing façade design has increasingly garnered attention and investment of time and resources from investors and architects alike. With the aid of building energy simulation tools based on heat exchange calculations and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling, the authors have developed a process to optimize façade systems based on parameters such as position, orientation, ventilation area, and materials. This calculation process will serve as a valuable tool for architects in implementing their design ideas, helping achieve optimal results in terms of aesthetics and energy savings for the building. The paper presents the calculation process and its application to a two-story wooden modular building at the Institute of Building Science and Technology.
