Dear Friends
My final master's thesis in architectural technology is about the effect of using plants in the cavity of a double skin facade in which indoor air circulates in in the cavity and by photosynthesis of some special plants, indoor CO2 concentration will come
into lower levels and therefore, demand for fresh air will be decreased.
Even though I have developed mathematical models in which it demonstrates such a facade's capacity to purify indoor air, but my professors suggested to make a simulation to evaluate different aspects such as:
1- effects of plants' photosynthesis on indoor CO2 reduction and thus ventilation
2- effect of those plants on thermal conditions
3- effect of excessive humidity in the cavity on DSF behavior
I have already tried to model this in design builder, however, it didn't give concrete results. The idea is that we push indoor air from bellow part of the interior side of the double skin facade into the cavity and pull it back to the room from upside part.
Do you know what shall I really do ? Is this possible in design Energy plus or design builder ?
