Author(s) : BEGGS C. B., WARWICKER B., HOWARTH A. T.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The paper describes a new technique whereby new and existing buildings can be fitted with a low energy air movement system, which significantly increases the fabric thermal storage capacity of the building. This should eliminate the need for air conditioning whilst still enabling occupants to remain comfortable in summer.
