Description
Passive DownDraught Cooling is an energy efficient and cost-effective alternative to conventional air conditioning for new and existing buildings. It has been applied in many different building types around the world and represents a significant opportunity for the reduction of carbon emissions.
This Sourcebook provides a global review of research and current practice and will be of particular value to architects, engineers and other construction professionals. It includes:
- guidance on the principles and strategies that can be adopted
- a detailed evaluation of building case studies
- life-cycle cost analysis for Europe, India and China
- simplified tools for performance assessment
- a review of components and controls.
In addition, a CD has been included which contains final reports from three previous EC funded research projects, two performance prediction tools and life-cycle cost analysis spreadsheets as well as measured data from an experimental building in Italy and a short promotional film. The Sourcebook and accompanying CD, therefore, provide a comprehensive reference for practitioners and students seeking guidance on the current state of the art.
This work has been partially funded by the European Commission’s 6th Framework for Research & Development.
