Passive down-draught evaporative cooling: thermal modelling of an office building.

Author(s) : ROBINSON D., LOMAS K., et al.

Type of article: Article

Summary

This article reports on the evaluation of two simulation-based methods of predicting the dynamic thermal performance of non-domestic buildings in hot dry climates, conditioned by passive downdraught evaporative cooling. In the system, analysed microscopic droplets of water were evaporated in ambient air and the resulting cool dense air delivered passively, through controlled openings, to occupied areas.
