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.
