Application of thermal mass as an energy saving method is more effective in places where the outside ambient air temperature differences between the days and nights are high. A traditional iranian solar cooling design using a wind tower passive cooling is a building design approach that focuses on heat gain control and heat dissipation in a building in order to improve the indoor thermal comfort with low or no energy consumption [1][2] this approach works either by preventing heat from entering the interior (heat gain prevention) or by removing heat from the. Passive cooling involves a series of strategies to cool buildings without electricity and represents an invaluable set of tools to address the increasingly intense summer heatwaves, even in europe. Passive cooling systems are a type of building design that uses natural processes to cool a building without the use of mechanical systems. Abstract envelope design as a means of passive cooling is the integrated design of building form and materials as a total system to achieve optimum comfort and energy savings
This paper aims at highlighting the role of envelope design in determining the efficiency of passive cooling in the building As an experienced construction and building specialist, i’m excited to share insights on optimizing passive cooling strategies to comply with modern energy efficiency codes In today’s world, where sustainability and energy conservation have become paramount, designing buildings that minimize reliance on active cooling systems while maintaining occupant comfort is crucial. Recent studies have indicated that passive cooling systems, particularly when applied to the building envelope, are gaining prominence [73, 74] Passive cooling refers to building technologies or features that lower indoor temperatures without the need for mechanical systems such as ac Instead of directly generating cold air, passive cooling reduces the overall need for cooling by controlling how heat enters, moves through, and exits buildings
In buildings, radiative cooling can be applied through (i) direct or passive cooling, in which the radiator is the building itself (building envelope radiates towards the sky and gets cooler) and (ii) hybrid radiative cooling, in which the radiator is a metal plate (air is cooled under the metal plate and the cooled air is injected into the building) The examples of radiative cooling. In addition to saving energy and reducing environmental impacts, this approach translates into more pleasant and healthy indoor environments for occupants By creating spaces where temperature is naturally regulated and the air is fresh and clean, passive cooling strategies significantly improve the quality of life within buildings, ensuring.
