Abstract

This research compared the use of Double Skin Façade (DSF) with its combination with 3 types of solar chimney; vertical solar chimney, slopped solar chimney, and horizontal-vertical solar chimneys on a eight-storey prototype office building in Jakarta, Indonesia. All simulations were performed by simulation using Ansys 15.0. The results are based on the air velocity and pressure flowing in the DSF gap and chimney, as well as the room. From three types of solar chimney simulations which used, it shows that the best result is DSF combination with vertical solar chimney utilization of DSF combined with solar chimney proved effective in increasing wind velocity in space.
