Thermal storage case study: combined building mass and cooling pond.

Author(s) : ARNOLD D.

Summary

The design solution for the new building of a US credit card company was to provide a mix of passive and mechanical systems that could be switched in response to internal conditions and the prevailing weather. The object was to use passive features, i.e. the building thermal mass and storage and cooling effects of a pond, to maintain thermal comfort whenever possible and only switch to mechanical cooling under extreme conditions.
