Double Wall Facade

Double wall facades are becoming increasingly popular in building envelope design due to the high-efficiency heating, cooling & sound reduction. The double wall allows for a corridor between the interior and exterior of the building. This corridor can be ventilated automatically or can use the heat build-up to distribute airflow throughout the building. We recently completed a double wall facade system complete with motorized vents, louvres, venetian blinds, and photovoltaic systems at the MacKimmie Tower on the University of Calgary campus.
