Strategy for Cooling Green Buildings

Article Preview

Abstract:

Green building and its strategic areas for conservation or the rational use of material, energy and water resources. Fundamentals of cooling and basic strategies for cooling green building. Wide range of passive forms of building cooling based on the utilization of natural physical phenomena and renewable energy. Cooling by cross-ventilation. Cooling by stack ventilation. Earth tube cooling. Cooling by earth sheltering. Cooling by night ventilation with thermal mass. Cooling by sun shading system. Cooling through physical cavity of building. Cooling the building with energy from renewable sources – solar cooling systems, heat pumps using the energy of natural environment, well water direct cooling systems.
