Abstract:
The paper aims to explore the effect of different passive cooling measures using thermal modelling and predicting. Solar shading, green roofs and cool paints were incorporated as passive cooling measures to evaluate their combined effects on indoor environment, thermal comfort and its importance in energy conservation. Microclimate indicators were measured for validating and predicting thermal behaviour. For this study, both mechanical and natural ventilation were restricted.
