Performance and feasibility of passive air conditioning systems.

Author(s) : PAASSEN A. H. C. van, LUTE P. J.

Summary

Simulations on the computer showed that a comfortable internal climate can be realized all year long by utilizing a predictive control system and by cooling it down at night, by opening windows (only if the heat produced by men and machines is less than 15 and 20 watts/m2). For larger outputs, a mechanical cooling supplementary system is necessary. An adequate combination of natural controlled ventilation and mechanical cooling leads to a drastic reduction in energy consumption. The capacity to eliminate inner heat and the cost for this passive air-conditioning system are compared to those offered by more conventional systems.
