Free cooling strategies are gaining importance in design practice due to the increased risk
of overheating in well-insulated buildings with high internal loads such as offices. The state …

The average global cooling demand in non-residential buildings is expected to increase by
over 275% between now and 2050. Controlled passive cooling is fundamental to successful …

The energy consumption for heating and cooling of buildings in the cities located within the
boundaries of the Hot Summer and Cold Winter (HSCW) zone in China is rapidly increasing …

Heatwaves are responsible for many deaths due to hot weather. Natural ventilation is
promoted as a cooling solution to reduce the impacts of climate change because of its …

The paper compares effects on thermal performance and energy use of various pre-cooling
and ventilation strategies, which might be used for reducing peak power demands in typical …

An ever-increasing challenge of global warming and climate change is the issue of
overheating in buildings. Several studies have developed numerous passive strategies to …

Evidence indicates that improvement of thermal performance of building envelope has the
potential for aggravating the indoor overheating risk in summer. On the other hand, evolving …

Night ventilation is a low energy strategy for cooling a building. It works by using natural or
mechanical ventilation to cool the thermal mass of exposed internal building surfaces at …

The quality of future working circumstances for many will be contingent on how low energy
indoor spaces respond to challenges from accelerated ambient warming. Resilient cooling …

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 …
