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

EAT Case Studies
Single family house (Morocco)
• Airflow: 750 – 930 m3/h • 3 pipes (length: 72 m, diameter: 15 cm, depth: 2.2 – 3.5 m) • Design factor: 1 m2 per 9 m3/h
EAT Case Studies
University building (India)
• Airflow: 30’000 m3/h (daytime) • 1 pipe (length: 100 m, diameter: 120 cm, depth: 4 m) • Design factor: 1 m2 per 80 m3/h • EAT + direct evaporative cooling (air washer within AHU)

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
