  • 1873936478
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 697.93 20
LOC classification:
  • TH7687.5  PAS 1996
Contents:
1. Cooling in buildings -- 2. Passive cooling of buildings -- 3. The Mediterranean climate -- 4. Microclimate -- 5. Urban design -- 6. Thermal comfort -- 7. Cooling load of buildings -- 8. Heat attenuation -- 9. Natural ventilation -- 10. Solar control -- 11. Ground cooling -- 12. Evaporative cooling -- 13. Radiative cooling -- 14. Simplified methods for passive cooling applications.
Summary: Energy consumption in buildings represents about 40% of the total annual energy usage in the EU. With greater awareness of the need to reduce energy consumption comes a growth of interest in passive cooling, particularly as an alternative to air-conditioning. Drawing extensively on information and results compiled under the SAVE European Research Programme, this book describes the fundamentals of passive cooling together with the principles and formulae necessary for its successful implementation.Summary: This publication will be of interest to building designers, building engineers including mechanical and electrical engineers, building scientists, especially those involved with building physics, and indoor air specialists.
