Numerical and Experimental Analysis of Passive Cooling through Night Ventilation (Numerieke en experimentele analyse van passieve koeling door nachtventilatie) KU Leuven
Nowadays, the application of active cooling in office buildings is hardly questioned in building practices. Also in temperate climates, active cooling is often assumed to be a necessary condition for a good thermal comfort. However, an optimal building design can go a long way towards reducing the cooling load. For example, night cooling can maintain thermal comfort during the day, by pre-cooling the building at night using cool exterior air at ...
