Description
Passive cooling systems transfer heat from the building to natural energy sinks, such as the air, water, earth, or outer space. They help reducing the cooling demand and the associated energy use over the lifetime of the building.
Objective
To further discuss the details of the passive cooling, how did the principles of passive cooling work, and how to integrate them in buildings.
