Summary

THERMAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL IN A BUILDING COULD BE DONE PASSIVELY DESIGNING THE BUILDING WITH EVAPORATIVE COOLING OVER THE ROOF AND APPROPRIATE VENTILATION CONTROL SYSTEMS. DEALS WITH THE LATTER POSSIBILITY FOR THE CONTROL OF INDOOR AIR TEMPERATURE IN A BUILDING TO MAKE IT MORE COMFORTABLE. NUMERICAL CALCULATIONS FOR A TYPICAL HOT SUMMER DAY IN DELHI USING RELEVANT PARAMETERS HAVE BEEN MADE TO STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF THE PROPOSED MODEL. THE EFFECTS OF THE PRESENCE/ABSENCE OF WATER SPRAY OVER THE ROOF, CONTINUOUS AND INTERMITTENT VENTILATION RATES AND TIMINGS ON THE INDOOR AIR TEMPERATURE HAVE BEEN EXAMINED. FINDS THAT THE MAINTENANCE OF A WATER FILM SPRAY OVER THE ROOF AND THE VENTILATION CONTROL SYSTEMS IN A BUILDING IN HOT SUNNY CLIMATES SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES THE INDOOR AIR TEMPERATURE TO MAKE THE INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT MORE COMFORTABLE.
