Cool Materials for Passive Cooling in Buildings

2021
Cool materials are an acknowledged, environmentally friendly and relatively cost-effective solution that can be easily integrated in the built environment with the threefold aim of reducing building cooling energy needs, mitigating the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon and, at a larger scale, counteracting global warming.

Passive Downdraught Evaporative Cooling

Indoor and Built Environment, 2000
This is the second in a series of four papers that describe a 3-year EU-funded research project into the application of passive downdraught evaporative cooling (PDEC) to non-domestic buildings.

Design Optimization of Passively Cooled Room

Journal of Energy Engineering, 1992
We consider this paper an actual design implementation of a passively cooled room, employing the night‐cooling roof‐pond method. The main intended application in our case is of cool storage of agricultural products in the region of Northern Thailand. As there have been no roof‐pond systems specifically designed for the storage of agricultural products ...

Passive cooling in an urban setting

Nature Sustainability, 2019
Radiative cooling can be used to reduce building air-conditioning requirements. In urban environments, nearby buildings partially block access to the sky, which hinders radiative cooling, but a thermal beam-shaping design can help solve this problem.

Recognition of passive cooling techniques

Renewable Energy, 1994
Abstract Passive cooling techniques in buildings have been employed successfully for many years in hot and hot-humid climates. The advances in the production of electricity and associated technologies have encouraged the use of mechanical cooling systems including air conditioning. Such systems have pushed aside traditional passive cooling techniques

Passive and Hybrid Cooling Research

1983
The term “passive cooling” generally denotes the dissipation of heat from buildings by the natural processes of radiation, convection, and evaporation which do not require the expenditure of any nonrenewable energy. In many cases, evaporation and convection can be significantly enhanced by the use of motor-driven fans or pumps, which consume small ...

Passive radiant cooling: a paint to cool the planet

Heat risk is one of the world’s biggest environmental justice challenges. A “silent killer” in lower-income, hot countries and a major driver of emissions from increasing demand for air conditioning.Recent materials science breakthroughs have resulted in roof coatings with extraordinary potency to both reflect solar radiation and emit heat from ...
