Advances in Passive Cooling

Provides a comprehensive update on the state-of-the-art of passive cooling technology, authored by a global team of experts Covers the different techniques available in a style accessible to architecture and engineering professionals and students Presents essential information on the technologies increasingly considered as the best alternative to energy-hungry air conditioning Following a rapid increase in the use of air conditioning in buildings of all types, the energy demand for powering such strategies has become a significant cause for concern.

Passive cooling is increasingly being thought of as the best alternative to air conditioning This book offers the latest knowledge and techniques on passive cooling, enabling building professionals to understand the state of the art and employ relevant new strategies.

With separate chapters on comfort, urban microclimate, solar control, ventilation, ground cooling and evaporative and radiative cooling, this authoritative text will also be invaluable for aspiring architects, engineers and other students working on building physics and low-energy design.

Contributing authors include: F. Nicols, London Metropolitan University; H. Akbari, Lawrence Berkeley, National Laboratory, USA; K. Voss, University of Dortmund, Germany; M. Kolokotroni, Brunel University; J. Pfafferott, Faunhofer Institute, Germany; and E. Erell, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel.

Review

‘For all those who have been unlucky enough to have roasted in ill-designed buildings, for all those who work for this not to happen, and for many more this is important and useful reading.’ Alexandros N. Tombazis, Architect, Greece ‘The air-conditioning industry has sold comfort as a commodity.

This book not only challenges their concept of comfort but examines the ways and means that we can produce comfortable environments at minimal energy cost and hence fight global warming.’ Professor Michael Wilson, Director of the Low Energy Architecture Research Unit, London Metropolitan University, UK ‘This book goes back to the basic physics of human comfort and explains why many answers can be found in today’s best building technologies, before relying on energy dependent devices and gadgets.’ Eduardo De Oliveira Fernandes, Professor at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, Portugal ‘The book is essential reading for building design professionals.’ Architectural Science Review
