An evaluation of passive cooling strategies on indoor thermal performance of an office space
Abu Bakar,Siti Khatijah +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the indoor thermal performance in an office space due to the effects of wall materials and night cooling strategies, and found that changing to high thermal mass wall material could improve building's thermal performance index and reduced peak indoor operative temperature about 1°C.
A modular, open system for testing ventilation and cooling strategies in extremely low energy lecture rooms
TL;DR: A case study that combines real building operation on a university campus with an advanced, modular test platform covering all aspects of the real operational performance of extremely low energy lecture rooms and provides deeper insight in the dynamic behaviour of the ventilation system.

Modelling and thermal optimization of traditional housing in a hot arid area
Murad Khan,Hayder Mirza Majeed +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the use of night ventilation as a passive cooling strategy for a traditional courtyard house in a hot dry climate, using weather data for Baghdad, and found that building elements can change the performance to various degrees, that the airflow patterns inside the rooms change from day to night and that the thermal conditions during the day depend more on the intensity of solar radiation than other factors.
