Double skin facades (DSF) are an architectural feature of buildings that can be part of the next steps in the development and application of sustainable development strategies. The integration of innovative elements into DSFs can provide more efficient use of renewable energy sources or reduce operating costs. The vast number of studies that address this topic require systematic categorization and review of the conclusions of these works. In this work, an analysis of the literature focusing on DSFs has been performed. The aim was to categorize the conclusions of the works into categories that define the current research topics. The literature review shows that energy efficiency, daylighting, use of shading devices and vegetation are currently the most relevant topics. However, the review also shows that little attention has been paid to the interaction between these topics.
