Passive cooling strategy has been considered to apply due to its effectiveness. Double skin façade strategy is one of advance building façade technology in passive design. Moreover, Double skin façade-green wall is the development of conventional Double skin façade. The aim of this study is to observe and compare the performance of DSF and DSF-GW in reducing cooling energy. B-block building in Islamic University of Malang has been selected as case study. DesignBuilder-EnergyPlus was used as simulation tool in this study. The strategy of DSF and DSF-GW has been applied in along side of the building. The results show that the DSF-GW resulted best in reducing cooling energy demand up to 45% compare to conventional DSF.
