ShareSummary
Describes the performance of a passive heated and cooled education building in the Negev desert, Israel. Presents a year's worth of measured data and analyses them from the viewpoint of thermal comfort. Winter heating provides comfort conditions without the need for a backup system. Summer cooling is provided by enhanced nocturnal ventilation. Draws some general conclusions regarding the design of passive solar buildings.
