The Glass Ventilated Facades – Research of an Air Gap

Abstract

In this article the scheme of a design, its advantage is considered and the factors influencing removal of moisture from an air gap of a facade are investigated. This type of designs allows to create indoors a favorable microclimate with necessary illumination, temperature, moisture conditions and the movement of air, protecting thus from negative atmospheric actions. Also at observance of technology indicators of moisture-proofness of facades improve, temperature fluctuations are leveled, normal functioning of all system in general is provided. Despite a set of advantages of this type of facades take place and some shortcomings therefore the obtained data indicate the need of further research of systems of the ventilated glass facades and work on elimination of the revealed shortcomings.
