Energy Efficiency and Passive Cooling
Efficient building design / Prevention of heat loads • Microclimate and site design • Building form and layout • Solar control • Thermal insulation • Internal gain control • … Passive cooling / Heat dissipation with natural sinks • Night ventilation • Radiative cooling • Evaporative cooling • Earth coupling • Water source cooling (sea, lake, river) • … Efficient air-conditioning • Water cooling instead of air cooling • VAV air systems • Enthalpy recovery

Conclusions
Passive cooling techniques: • diverse techniques / interesting potentials • low energy and maintenance cost • complementary with energy efficiency measures (building and AC system) Constraints: • temperature/enthalpy level of heat sink • investment cost Earth-air tunnels: • existing and validated design guidelines and tools • complement / competition with evaporative cooling (depending on location and period of the
year) • space constraints
