Abstract
The envelope of the building has high impact in the indoor climate, In hot dry climate the building has indoor thermal discomfort. This enclosure can either passively or actively reject undesirable effects while allowing beneficial ones. Therefore, the aim of the paper is achieving thermal comfort and daylighting of the office building through the facades by a comparative analysis of static and dynamic double skin façade as an alternative for the single curtain walls to achieve indoor thermal comfort and daylighting. Curtain walls usually are seen as an attractive feature in the building, but it consumes a lot of energy because it is similar as the outdoor climate because it did not have anything to opaque the outdoor temperature and daylight. The study focuses on comparing between the double skin façades in the thermal comfort of the building and daylighting by simulation in design builder. The simulation process in this this research will be taken in different categories, the first one is simulating the indoor air temperature, the second one is in the measuring the daylighting inside the building. The expected result of this research after the comparative analysis is to find which is better in achieving the thermal comfort and daylighting with respect to the energy consumption in any office building and the efficiency of the workers in the daylighting.
