Abstract
An experimental setup was carried out with two enclosures of insulating walls, one with a single glass façade and the other one with double glazed façade with a ventilation air chamber. It is found that the internal temperatures are clearly different on both setups in the period of higher irradiation. Experimental measurements taken along several months show a temperature difference between both configurations ranging from 5ºC to 10ºC. A finite element simulation has also been performed in transient regime to analyze the thermal behavior of both cells. The experimental results and those obtained through simulations are in good agreement in terms of temperatures. The numerical simulation provides also the heat fluxes exchanges taking place in the modeled cells. The associated energy analysis shows an impact on the energy save of the building of about 20%
