This book includes the most recent outcomes from research and
professional practice in the ventilative cooling field, gathered by
the selected panel of authors. It provides essential contents to
face and reduce the rise of space cooling and ventilation energy
uses in buildings by alternative ventilation and cooling solutions.
The book is organised into three parts which include a detailed
description of ventilative cooling boundaries and implications
(working principles, KPIs, standards, comfort models, control
techniques) and of principal techniques (night ventilation,
controlled natural ventilation, hybrid solutions, PCM and mass
activation, evaporative cooling, earth-to-air heat exchangers)
along with an updated analysis of the background to the topic.
Furthermore, the last part of the book defines a unique practical
and theoretical framework to include ventilative cooling solutions
in different building typologies along with their principal
implications.
This book explores the bioclimatic approach to building design.
Constant innovations in the field are evident, including the need
to face climate changes and increase the local resilience at
different scales (regional, urban, architectural). Differently from
other contributions, this book provides a definition of the
bioclimatic design approach following a technological and
performance-driven vision. It includes one of the largest
collection of research voices on the topic, becoming also a
critical reference work for bioclimatic theory. It is intended for
architects, engineers, researchers, and technicians who have
professional and research interests in bioclimatic and in
sustainable and technological design issues.
