The energy efficiency of the construction sector is denoted by the European energy and environmental policies, by international standards and national legislation. Ventilated facades can contribute towards more efficient buildings, hence this paper focuses on the evaluation of ventilated façade construction typologies and the impact of thermal radiance exposure. The selected scenarios were evaluated in terms of thermophysical analysis and laboratory measurements, and based on the results useful conclusions can be derived. Nevertheless, there is need of further investigation towards alternative configurations of the facades, such as implementing alternative ventilation configurations and patterns as well as more innovative and technical efficient construction materials.
