Passive Hybrid Downdraught Cooling
Overview
Passive Hybrid Downdraught Cooling (PHDC) is an energy efficient and ecological cooling system that is a real alternative to conventional air conditioning. This course is for people seeking a basic knowledge of PHDC. The course will review the physics behind downdraught cooling and explore its limitations as a solitary cooling system. We’ll look at various systems and strategies that can be used in conjunction with passive downdraught cooling to create a dependably comfortable indoor environment. Case studies cover how climate, site and local considerations impact design choices. Finally, we’ll discuss the LEED credits that this type of hybrid system can contribute.
