Evaluation of Daylight Performance in Double-Skin Facade Systems for Buildings

Öz

In buildings with double skin facades (DSFs), daylighting performance is influenced by parameters such as facade layer configuration, cavity depth, orientation, glazing properties, and shading devices. Although numerous studies have investigated the thermal and energy aspects of DSFs, research focusing specifically on daylighting remains limited. This review systematically evaluates previous studies on DSF daylighting performance using the PRISMA protocol. A comprehensive search of the Scopus and Web of Science databases initially identified 503 publications, which were screened and reduced to 24 relevant articles. The analysis highlights how architectural design parameters, particularly shading strategies, cavity depth, and facade orientation, shape daylighting outcomes. Overall, DSF systems tend to reduce absolute illumination levels compared to single skin facades but improve visual comfort by minimizing glare and ensuring more uniform light distribution. Certain configurations, such as perforated screens with 37–50% openness or multi-storey DSFs with optimized cavity depths (40–90 cm), demonstrated improvements up to 70% in useful daylighting illuminance and significant reductions in glare probability. The findings emphasize that DSFs, when appropriately designed, can balance daylight autonomy, visual comfort, and energy efficiency. This study contributes to filling a gap in the literature by synthesizing quantitative evidence and identifying research needs for integrating DSFs into sustainable daylighting design strategies.
