This article presents the application of the zonal approach for modeling airflow and temperaturedistribution in Doube-Skin Facades (DSF). The airflow rate was calculated by using the power-lawmodel (PLM) and integral form of the energy equation was used to evaluate the temperaturedistribution. The predicted temperature distribution was compared/ verified using measured valuesand parametic studies were conducted to identify the influence of height, flowrate and pesence ofshading device on the temperature gradient in the cavity.
