    abstract = {Double Skin Facade (DSF) is a popular architectural feature 
  created by adding a fully glazed surface to the conventional facade. Different 
  parameters, such as climatic conditions influence DSF performance with significant 
  impact on its efficiency. DSF construction provides an appropriate platform 
  to apply natural ventilation within the building and DSF cavity. But, air cavity 
  overheating is one of the prominent disadvantages on the warmer days due in 
  most partto high solar radiation absorption. In this case, the airflow direction 
  is important not only to prevent hot air entry but also to improve indoor ventilation 
  which provides higher thermal comfort. The lack of precedent research on DSF 
  performance in hot and humid climates compels these researchers to study DSF 
  performance in the indicated conditions. The study aims to examine various opening 
  configurations of DSF to evaluate their effects on indoor air velocity, air 
  direction and temperature distribution using simulations of the Malaysian climate. 
  Simulation results indicate the influenceof opening configurations on DSF performance, 
  especially on indoor airflow directions.}
