To examine the potential for cooling load reduction and thermal comfort enhancement by using cooling roof techniques in residential buildings, a study was performed in the city of Biskra (southern Algeria).
This article describes the reduction in building cooling load and cooling or air conditioning costs from roof ventilation, radiant barriers, roof colors, and we include suggestions where roof venting is not possible - "hot roof" designs.
Cooling Load Reduction in a SingleFamily House, an EnergyEfficient Approach.Using this simulation, we assessed the effects of passive cooling techniques on the reduction rate of cooling loads in an air-conditioned house.
One of the methods is through reducing cooling load in buildings since opportunities are present in it. This study aims to investigate the existing methods for cooling load reduction and to compare and recommend the most suitable method for Malaysian conditions.
The external heat load of residential buildings in summer is the dominant parameter of the required cooling load and refrigeration capacity of air conditioning systems. The consumed energy of air conditioning system is proportional to the outside conditions and intensity of solar radiation.
Furthermore, visual representations like the one above help us fully grasp the concept of Cooling Load Reduction Techniques.
TL;DR: In this article, three passive techniques for air cooling in buildings are tested in the real conditions of Marrakech (Morocco) whose climate is hot semi-arid (BSh type according to the Koppen-Geiger climate classification).
This study investigated the cooling load reduction effect of the blind integrated with the cavity operation. A full heat balance analysis was performed using EnergyPlus to provide a detailed understanding of the heat transfer mechanism that takes place around the blind and...
