BIB 08: An Annotated Bibliography: Passive Cooling Technology for Office Buildings in Hot Dry and Temperate Climates

This bibliography outlines the main features and design considerations of passive cooling ventilation systems. It draws on current research and case studies to provide a comprehensive and authoritative review, dealing with the prevention of heat gains (through location, landscaping, building morphology, shading and other solar control techniques); the modulation of heat gains (by thermal storage and night cooling) and heat dissipation methods (using natural ventilation, radiative cooling, evaporative cooling and earth cooling).
