Passive Cooling of the Traditional Houses of Nepal
Abstract For the purpose of evaluating passive cooling effects in summer, a thermal investigation of traditional houses was conducted in the sub-tropical region of Nepal. The results were as follows: (1) daytime indoor air temperature is 4.6 K less than outdoor air temperature. (2) The daytime surface temperature of the thatched roof is lower than the clay tile and cement tile roof. The results indicate that passive cooling and moisture control effects are found in traditional houses with earthen floors, thatched roof, mud and brick walls and mud vessels which are effective in producing thermal comfort for residents.
