Energy EfficientVentilated CavityAcoustic Performance

Double Skin System

A sophisticated adaptive facade system incorporating an outer protective skin and an inner active skin. Cavity space can house automated shading devices and facilitate stack ventilation.

  • Green-rated commercial buildings (LEED / GRIHA)
  • High-rise towers seeking solar heat reduction
  • Acoustic-sensitive buildings near traffic zones
  • Significant Heat Gain ReductionVentilated cavity of 200–1000mm interrupts direct solar heat transfer to interior spaces.
  • Improved Acoustic InsulationDouble-wall construction dramatically reduces exterior noise ingress.
