A Review of Passive-Cooling Techniques for Buildings in Hot–Humid Climate Zones
BuildingsBuildings in hot–humid climates experience increasing thermal stress due to urban heat islands and climate change, leading to greater reliance on air conditioning. Passive cooling is therefore a crucial low-carbon strategy for maintaining thermal comfort.

Gender differences in thermal comfort in a hot-humid climate [PDF]
, 2014 Thirty female and 30 male college students, who had naturally acclimatized to hot-humid climate, were exposed to seven temperature/humidity combinations in a climate chamber, and they were surveyed all year long at their classrooms and dormitories. They dressed in 0.5 clo in the chamber tests, while their subjective and physiological responses were ...
