An experimental data set on the thermal and fluid dynamic performance of double skin facades (DSFs) subjected to various controlled boundary conditions through the use of a climate simulator facility

Double skin facades (DSFs) are building envelope systems defined by complex phenomena and non-linear-processes that make characterizing their performance a non-trivial task. In an effort to enable the scientific community to access experimental data for further analysis or model validation purposes, we release together with the open-access paper entitled “<strong><em>Laboratory testbed and methods for flexible characterization of the thermal and fluid dynamic behavior of double skin facades” (</em></strong><strong><em>https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2021.108700</em></strong><strong><em>)</em></strong>, a set of experimental data collected during tests carried out with the use of the newly developed testbed. The data contains the results of a series of tests where various configurations of a full-scale DSF mock-up that have been subjected to different boundary conditions replicated in a climate simulator. The database contains a guide in the form of the file ‘Guide.pdf’, which explains how to read data, presents a schematic drawing of sensor layout, and provides more information on sensors’ positions. Further information on the original aims of the experiments, methods, and other data can be found in the article mentioned above, which becomes an essential tool to understand how to read and interpret the experimental data fully. The following collection of experimental data are provided: 32 steady-state measurements where the following factors were changed: ventilation mode (indoor and outdoor air curtain), solar irradiance (0, 400, 600, and 800 Wm^-2), outdoor chamber temperature (10, 20, 30, and 40 ℃), cavity depth (20, 30, 40 and 60 cm) and venetian blinds position (no blinds, closed blinds, θ=45 º, and open blinds) [file names: ‘Taguchi_4Lx4F_L16_I-I.csv’ and ‘Taguchi 4Lx4F_L16_O-O.csv’], Dynamic profile measurements corresponding to a typical hot summer day [Dynamic_profile_measurements.csv] and Calibration data [Callibration.csv].
