Visually enriched with over 250 photographs and drawings, Bioclimatic Double-Skin Façades is an essential reference guide for understanding the types and functions of double-skin façades. Author Mary Ben Bonham examines the history and continuing potential of double-skin architecture, informing on the variety of approaches possible and advising a rigorous integrated design process leading to application. Featuring a wide selection of architectural examples, the book will be of interest to professionals and students within the fields of architecture, engineering, and construction.Characterized by a buffer-like air space between two glazed building skins, double-skin windows and façades aim to improve building comfort and energy performance. Double skins introduce complexity and initial costs, yet significant buildings in locations around the globe continue to select this approach. In addition to exploring motivations, benefits, and cautions for designing with double skins, the book provides a primer on fundamental façade design concepts and strategies for control of thermal, luminous, and acoustic environments. Chapters also address alternative types of high-performance façades and implications for each phase of façade design and construction.Bioclimatic Double-Skin Façades promotes bioclimatic design that is inspired by nature, measured in performance, and uniquely adapted to climate and place. In-depth case studies illustrate how double-skin façades have been adapted to a range of climates and cultural settings: Marseille Library and Grenoble Courthouse in France, Cambridge Public Library in Massachusetts, Manitoba Hydro Place in Canada, and the Pearl River Tower in China.

"The building skin is the lynchpin to achieving sustainability and resilience goals in buildings and urban habitat, and double-skin façades are an established strategy in pursuing these critical goals. Bonham makes an important contribution to this effort with a long overdue articulate and comprehensive review of double-skin technology and applications.Bonham gifts us with an articulate, comprehensive and beautifully written review of double-skin façade technology and applications. This backward and forward look at this well-established strategy in the critical pursuit to resilient and sustainable buildings and urban habitat provides a much needed update and contextualization of this rapidly evolving technology."Mic Patterson PhD LEED AP+Ambassador of Innovation & CollaborationFounder, Immediate Past PresidentFacade Tectonics Institute
