Abstract:
In bioclimatic design, natural cooling of buildings is necessary. It is always related to the building use and the occupants’ activities. Natural cooling achieves: 1. heat removal to the external environment, from the air inside the building and its structural elements, provided that the temperature of the environment is lower than the temperature of the air inside the building and its structural elements, resulting in a. reduction of electricity consumption from the use of air conditioners, b. reduction of chlorofluorocarbon emissions, c. reduction of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere; 2. dissipation of heat from the human body, to achieve thermal comfort conditions in the indoor environment.
