Dataset

This study is part of an ongoing Ph.D. research in the Department of Architectural Engineering + Technology, Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), the Netherlands. The study aimed to develop strategies for design teams to facilitate the early-stage design and evaluation

of building façades integrating solar cooling technologies. The strategies were developed using a research-through-design methodology, considering the Spanish

context and a proposed evaluation set-up to assess techno-economic feasibility. The development of strategies involved mapping the design and evaluation of solar cooling integrated façades by identifying and relating key processes, inputs, outputs, design decisions, and tools within key design stages. The data are organized based on the following main phase followed in this case study:

• Phase A: Energy simulation using DesignBuilder (DB) software.

• Phase B: Solar Fraction (SF) Calculations

• Phase C: Life-Cycle Cost (LCC) and Levelized Cost of Cooling (LCOC) Calculations

• Phase D: Summarization of Scores
