Passive Cooling Homes

Passive Cooling Homes explores how to design houses that use natural processes to minimize the need for air conditioning, addressing rising energy costs and environmental concerns. This book examines sustainable design and climate-responsive design, showing how traditional architectural techniques, like natural ventilation and shading strategies, can be applied to modern homes. Discover how integrating these passive cooling techniques from the beginning of the design process can lead to significant energy savings and improved comfort.

The book begins by looking at historical examples of passive cooling methods used in different climates, providing a foundation for understanding contemporary applications. It progresses through fundamental principles of heat transfer and building physics, then delves into specific techniques such as evaporative cooling and thermal mass utilization. Case studies illustrate successful applications, demonstrating how these strategies can be cohesively integrated into architectural design to enhance building performance.
