Double Skin Glass Facades

I prepared this dissertation on Double Skin Glass Facades was prepared while attending Syracuse University M. Arch II program in 2007. The technology didn’t seem to have too much relevance at the time here in the United States, initial costs outweighed perception of long term savings, if there were any to be had at the time. As we see energy prices spike, and environmental considerations become more mainstream, this type of passive envelope solutions may be seeing more advantages. Time will tell. Read my thesis given at the Syracuse Center of Excellence Symposium in October of 2007.
