... values of both result in reduced cooling needs and a heating penalty which is insignificant when compared with cooling savings for cooling-dominant climates like Phoenix where the cooling demand significantly outweighs the heating demand, yielding significant energy savings. Additionally, the study...

... of the study, the impacts of highly reflecting, cool roofs were evaluated using base case and proposed simulations. In the second phase, a comparison was made between the possible energy savings that may be obtained by switching from low to high solar reflective roofs. An analysis of the reflectance...

... of energy-saving and high-efficiency air conditioning systems is crucial for realizing green and efficient building practices. Evaporative cooling technology, specifically dew-point evaporative cooling, has garnered extensive attention as an efficient cooling method and a candidate for environmentally...

.... This paper presents an optimization of the performance of an office building with a mixed-mode run, including night ventilative cooling and shading strategies in summer. The objective is to assess their effectiveness with zero-energy building criteria. The building design integrates an efficient envelope...
