Porous Wall Cooling

"Porous Wall Cooling" addresses the critical need for sustainable building design in the face of rising global temperatures and intensifying urban heat islands. It explores how perforated facades can naturally regulate indoor temperatures, offering an energy-efficient alternative to conventional air conditioning. The book examines the physics behind passive cooling with porous materials, showing how strategically designed perforations in buildings can significantly reduce heat, improve ventilation, and promote energy efficiency.

Did you know that the size, shape, and arrangement of perforations influence ventilation rates, shading, and evaporative cooling potential? This book uniquely combines architectural aesthetics with engineering performance, presenting case studies and data from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to demonstrate the effectiveness of porous wall systems. It emphasizes integrating these systems into broader urban planning strategies to mitigate urban heat islands and improve overall urban microclimates.

Progressing from fundamental principles to practical applications and urban design strategies, it provides architects, engineers, and urban planners with valuable insights into the design, performance, and implementation of porous wall cooling systems, offering a holistic perspective on sustainable building practices.
