Development of feasibility approaches for studying the behavior of passive cooling systems in buildings

摘要

This study is a contribution to European projects Pascool/Joule II and Altener/sink that deals with feasibility of passive cooling system in Europe. The first aim of this work was to define a design methodology to evaluate natural cooling potential according to the climatic quantification criteria of the site, the cooling system performance, and comfort criteria defined by the couple of temperature and relative humidity set points.
