- Published in a prestigious journal and already cited 40 times, this paper presents a validated novel methodology for modelling solar radiation and natural convection for double skin façade which is becoming very popular in modern buildings. The authors have received many queries about the detailed modelling technique including an indication (communicated via Elsevier editor) that the findings may act as a ‘validation resource’ for future. Currently, a PhD research project in Newcastle University is using our methodology to benchmark their approach. Numerical guidelines provided in this paper would help practitioners to reduce the computational time without compromising accuracy of prediction.
