Construction and Development of a New Ecological Facade

Abstract:

Double skin facade has been popular in China since new century. It provides challenges to deal with overheating problems in air cavity and improve energy saving effects in hot summer and cold winter climate zone in China. This paper develops a new ecological facade which includes three key elements: a ventilated double skin facade, a tillandsia usneoides plant curtain and watering. The biological characteristics especially the absorbtivity of tillandsia usneoides were analyzed via SEM scanning photographs. Bud scales and mesophyll cells of tillandsia usneoides are the main tissues to keep water. Then a method to construct an ecological double skin facade using condensation water was introduced.
