Master 12 passive cooling strategies for hot climates in architecture: Enhance energy efficiency and comfort with smart design choices.

Strictly defined, the term ‘passive cooling’ applies only to those processes of heat dissipation that will occur naturally, that is without the mediation of mechanical components or energy inputs. The definition encompasses situations where the coupling of spaces and building elements to ambient heat sinks (air, sky, earth and water) by means of natural modes of heat transfer leads to an appreciable cooling effect indoors. However, before taking measures to dissipate unwanted heat, it is…

Project: Three Trees Location: Eagle Rock, California Large rocks squeezed into together by 'wood shelves' insulate the South face of the house. The rocks absorb the heat during the day lowering the solar gain. At night the rocks give heat back into into the air as the temperature outside drops. The rock wall and the desert climate work in concert to passively cool the house. Jeremy Levine Design www.jeremylevine.com

CoolAnt on Instagram: "A modular facade created with the help of our pots, in a waiting room for an office space in New Delhi, with a floor area of approx. 200 sq. ft. The system is capable of cooling down the entire space, using natural means, such as evaporative cooling. This will also have provisions to control the ventilation for the room. The facade is a composite of glass openable windows, and CoolAnt pots, along with a sensor-based water system, all integrated together by…
