Passive cooling techniques to reduce heat gains
In our previous discussions,the physics of heat gain and components of building envelope have already been discussed. It is beyond...
Components of a building envelope and temperature dynamics
Building envelope can be described as the exterior enclosure of a building structure which seperartes the interior conditioned space.These include...
Understanding building physics and heat gains
The primary purpose of a building is to prevent the occupant from the vagaries of nature. Since ancient times, humans...
Cool Roofs: a more comprehensive solution to emerging climate change
Cool walls refer to coating exterior buildings walls with solar reflective materials like light coloured or specially pigmented paints which...
High Albedo Sheets: the next frontier of cooling
High albedo sheets are characterised by their ability to reflect the incipient sunlight and radiate heat.They have emerged as an...
