AB - Double skin façade represents an additional skin on the outside wall of the  building with the idea of reducing building’s energy demand. The zone formed  by adding a skin can be sealed or ventilated either naturally or  mechanically. This paper shows the results of delivered heating and cooling  energy for an office building during heating season with 3 different  ventilation strategies and 90 double skin façade configurations. The results  were obtained by using EnergyPlus simulation program. In all observed cases,  adding double skin façade leads to a decrease in delivered heating energy by  as much as 55.80%, but delivered cooling energy might increase if proper  glazing type is not selected. The best results were obtained by using triple  glazing as inner skin of double façade. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike  Srbije, br.
