SIMULTANEOUS APPLICATION OF DIFFERENT NATURAL COOLING TECHNOLOGIES TOAN EXPERIMENTAL BUILDING

In terms of performance, natural cooling technologies have always been studied by experimentation of single techniques. In order to obtain a n improvement in global performance, particularly with regard to comfo rt, an investigation of the combined utilization of several techniques for the same location has been carried out. This paper gives the resu lts of a series of experiments in which several techniques of natural cooling were applied simultaneously in an experimental building.
