Abstract

The photovoltaic double skin façade (PV-DSF) represents the frontier of the advanced building envelope, whereas the prior parameter analysis had predominantly focused on the influence of individual factors. As two essential factors of PV-DSF, the photovoltaic etching ratio ϑ and cavity depth Dcav have garnered considerable academic attention, with little of them focusing on their coupling effect to energy performance. This paper investigates the impact of ϑ and Dcav using a spectrum-resolution numerical model, incorporating the concept of elementary effects derived from Morris method to quantify their interaction. The findings reveal that ϑ exhibits a non-monotonic impact, whereas the influence of Dcav is monotonic but non-linear. The optimal ϑ is found to be within the range of 30–50 %, while the lowest Dcav mostly outperforms other values, contrary to previous studies. This deviation is speculated to arise from the consideration of hot air generation energy. Furthermore, the variation of one factor can potentially alter the optimal value of the other. The second-order elementary effect between them demonstrates that their coupling effect is also non-linear and non-monotonic, with an impact as significant as that of Dcav alone. Overall, the correlations between ϑ and Dcav should be thoroughly considered during the design period.
