Author(s) : COLDICUTT S., WILLIAMSON T. J.
Type of article: Article
Summary
OUTLINES A STUDY TO COMPARING EVAPORATIVE AND REFRIGERATIVE AIR CONDITIONING IN DWELLINGS FOR THE WIDE RANGE OF CLIMATES IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA. EVAPORATIVE COOLERS USE ABOUT HALF AS MUCH ENERGY AS REFRIGERATIVE COOLERS IN WELL INSULATED HOUSES IN ADELAIDE AND MILDURA, RANGING TO ABOUT A QUARTER THE ENERGY IN POORLY INSULATED ALICE SPRINGS HOUSES. LIFE-TIME COSTS ARE REDUCED TO 50-65%. FINDS THE USE OF EVAPORATIVE COOLING HAS IMPORTANT IMPLICATIONS FOR CHOICE OF ECONOMIC INSULATION LEVELS AND MATERIALS. (INT. BUILD. SERV. ABSTR., GB., 22, N 1, 1987, 15, 87-00144.
