Om denne bog

Overheating in buildings is commonplace. This book describes how we can keep cool without conventional air-conditioning: improving comfort and productivity while reducing energy costs and carbon emissions. It provides architects, engineers and policy makers with a ‘how-to’ guide to the application of natural cooling in new and existing buildings. It demonstrates, through reference to numerous examples, that natural cooling is viable in most climates around the world.

This completely revised and expanded second edition includes:

  • An overview of natural cooling past and present.
  • Guidance on the principles and strategies that can be adopted.
  • A review of the applicability of different strategies.
  • Explanation of simplified tools for performance assessment.
  • A review of components and controls.
  • A detailed evaluation of case studies from the USA, Europe, India and China.

This book is not just for the technical specialist, as it also provides a general grounding in how to avoid or minimise air-conditioning. Importantly, it demonstrates that understanding our environment, rather than fighting it, will help us to live sustainably in our rapidly warming world.
