Analysing the performance of passive cooling system in Buildings: designing natural solution to summer cooling loads and Architectural Interventions
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
The continued rapid growth of construction industry and demand of energy raises a number of persistent questions and problems and demands for solution. Passive design responds to local climate and site conditions in order to maximize the comfort and health of building users while minimizing energy use. The key to designing a passive building is to take best advantage of the local climate. Passive cooling refers to a building design approach that focuses on heat gain control and heat dissipation in a building in order to improve the indoor thermal comfort with low or nil energy consumption. Passive cooling systems use non-mechanical methods to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature and are a key factor in extenuating the impact of buildings on the environment. The energy consumption in buildings is very much with the anticipation to further increase because of improving standards of leaving and the increase of world population. Air conditioning use has increasingly penetrated the market during the last few years and quite enough to contribute in the rise of absolute energy consumption. This paper reviews and analyses the performance of various passive cooling systems and their role in providing thermal comfort and its significance in energy conservation with the help of Architectural interventions.
