In the present study a new methodology allowing the assessment of building's cooling
demand savings by the use of ventilated passive cooling systems is presented in a twofold …

The current study uses a new methodology where the assessment of building cooling
demand savings is obtained through a redefined concept of the Climatic Cooling Potential …

The objective of this article is to develop and test a simplified method to compute the savings
in building cooling demand by use of passive cooling systems based on ventilation (direct …

The ventilative cooling potential tool (VC tool) aims at assessing the potential effectiveness
of ventilative cooling strategies by taking into account also building envelope thermal …

This study analyses the climate-dependent passive ventilative cooling (PVC) potential in
central and southern Europe. This analysis was carried out in two phases:(1) evaluation of …

The increasingly hot and long summers due to the climate change will cause a significant
increase in energy demand for cooling systems, especially in highly-densely populated …

In this paper, we compare results of a long-term temperature monitoring in a building with
high thermal mass to indoor temperature predictions of a second building that uses an …

The present study aims at assessing the geo-climatic potential applicability of controlled
natural ventilation (CNV) as a natural ventilative cooling (NVC) technique in the …

Energy consumption for space cooling is growing rapidly, increasing the need for alternative
low-energy solutions. Passive cooling dissipative systems, based on heat dissipation …

This study is a contribution to European projects Pascool/Joule II and Altener/Sink that deals
with feasibility of passive cooling systems in Europe. The first aim of this work was to define …
