CIBSE loads and double facade

Post by Dimitri »

Hello,

I am doing a loads simulation for a building that has a double skin - basically two glazed curtain walls with 2.5 meter cavity in between. My question is - will CIBSE loads calculation correctly account for the solar gains through both sheets of glass? Should I keep the cavity as a separate zone or connect it to the main space for more accurate results?

Regards

Dmitri
