Weather of Arabia - The term passive cooling refers to the set of technologies or design features used to cool buildings without consuming energy, such as those found in environmentally friendly green home projects.
The term "passive" indicates that components that consume mechanical energy such as pumps and fans are not used, and this requires taking into account the integration of physics principles in building the external perimeter, when designing the building to ensure the achievement of two important things:
Seeking to ensure slow heat transfer into the building , with the aim of not increasing the temperature of buildings in the summer, or a significant decrease in the winter, and taking into account the mechanisms of heat transfer and control of thermal radiation, and several methods are used in applying this principle, including insulation and shading.
As for the second matter, it is concerned with finding ways to remove unwanted heat from buildings, by finding ventilation holes.
