Re: climatic façade simulations

[Michaël Kummert <kummert@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Magali,

You can simulate double-façade buildings with Type56. TRANSSOLAR has a 
long experience in simulating that type of building but I don't know if 
they have any published papers on that. You may need to couple Type56 
with COMIS if you want to simulate natural ventilation in detail. You 
can also use TRNFLOW (an enhanced Type56 in which the COMIS engine has 
been integrated).

For more information, please check TRANSSOLAR website:
