| dc.description.abstract | The article explores the use of advanced passive cooling in the context of complex non-domestic buildings. Passive cooling involves a number of strategies and when one or more of these strategies are combined they create a more advanced form of passive cooling. In tropical and sub-tropical climates it is possible to use multiple passive strategies in combination to accommodate complex heat load issues with non-domestic buildings in maintaining thermal comfort and energy efficiency. A case study is used to redefine this concept and to explore the energy and comfort implications. | en_US |
