Apologies for cross-posting ...
In 2000, an informal email group was initiated
between professionals and academics working on various aspects of multiple
skin technologies (active facades, double skin facades, airflow windows and
facades, etc.). Forum topics included modelling and testing of various
'multiskin' systems, as well as a few 'practice-related' issues. Participants
were mainly from the Netherlands, UK, US and Canada; mostly academics but
several professionals from well-known facade engineering firms participated as
well. Forum activity varied over time, some grad students moved to other things
once their theses were submitted, new members popped in, etc. As this informal
discussion group became increasingly difficult to maintain with time, a new
Multiskin Yahoo Group was initiated ...
Those of you interested in multiskins are invited
to join (multiskin-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). Some participants in other mailing lists have sent some
interesting queries on multiskins lately and are encouraged to re-submit them in
this forum ...
On the web site (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/multiskin/), you'll find a few useful bookmarks under the 'LINKS' tab - new bookmarks may be added by members. More useful to students in particular is a 'related publications list' found under the 'FILES' tab. All the references point to publications in English, yet many excellent publications have been published in Dutch, German and French. References are essentially limited to multiskin technologies - there are of course numerous indirectly-related publications out there, such as on heat transfer coefficient modelling, optics, solar energy, etc., but they have been omitted as the total number of publications would easily exceed the hundreds. If you wish to add new references, please post them! - they will be added ASAP ... Denis Bourgeois
