Numerical data on heat flux of a novel controlled-temperature double skin façade

Hourly heat flux for variant boundary conditions of a novel controlled-temperature double skin façade (DSF) building element in a two- dimensional time- dependent study was determined. The building element is subjected to boundary conditions, characterizing different orientations (azimuth 0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) and climatic conditions of the four seasons. This data article provides detailed numerical data on the hourly heat flux, temperatures attained at the exterior and within the building element for six different geometries and for the variant boundary conditions under study. The external boundary conditions were determined with the use of the PVGIS tool, corrected in accordance to the sol-air temperature equation. The numerical simulation studies were performed with the use of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool Comsol Multiphysics [2].
