E-ON's new head office will be a landmark in Malmö's growing development area, Nyhamnen, with undulating facades that combine wood, glass, and brick to create an urban expression.
The house will be a place for current, scattered activities and gathering energy solutions for the future. The office building has a total floor area of approximately 25,000 m² for 1,800 employees and will be certified with the highest sustainability ambitions. With the location close to the central station, the establishment will be an important engine for the development of the entire new district.
Our work focuses on two issues:
-
Examine whether the desired solar performance can be met with the current design and
-
Assess cavity air temperatures for the South and West rectangular, simplified Double Skin façade cavities.
Cavity Air Temperature
Modelling such a complex Double Skin Façade system is a very demanding exercise and it will probably need a combination of Dynamic Thermal Modelling and Computational Fluid Dynamics assessments. Nevertheless, we carried out an assessment with a simplified model when compared to the real-life scenario, as briefly demonstrated on the right.
