Double-skin facades used in intelligent buildings provide natural light, heat and solar control, noise
isolation and most importantly, natural ventilation. This study aims to evaluate the double skin facade
systems according to design criteria and helps the designers and builders to take the right decision for
double-skin facade system selection. The evaluation has been done to the multi-storey, corridor-type,
shaft-type and box-type facade systems. The criteria affecting system selection in double-skin facade
systems are identified as noise and heat conductivity, day lighting, wind and fire resistance, cost,
aesthetics, and construction process. A survey was prepared to evaluate the double-skin facade systems
and design criteria. The survey was sent out to 34 individuals, but the responses of only 21 individuals
with prior experience in similar construction and project activities were evaluated. Architects and
engineers actively working at construction yards answered the survey questions. Facade systems are
evaluated for each design criteria (noise and heat conductivity, day lighting, fire and wind resistance, cost,
aesthetics, construction process). Also, design criteria are evaluated. The results of the study are then
offered to designers and builders as a source of information for taking the right decision with regard to
double-skin facade system selection.
