Assessment of natural cooling potential for buildings in different climatic conditions
Abstract Several methods of achieving cooling in buildings in hot climates have been developed in recent years. One such method, roof sack-cloth cooling, relies on maintaining a thin film of water on the roof. In the present article, a method of assessing the suitability of a given climatic condition for natural cooling is presented. This method is then applied to predict the performance of a roof sack-cloth cooling technique to certain hot-dry and hot-humid locations in India.
