Passive cooling system for a sustainable future in hot-humid climate

Passive cooling system for a sustainable future in hot-humid climate

One of the passive cooling strategies is the earth-air pipe heat exchanger (EAPHE). It is the cooling of outdoor air through underground pipes, using the soil as a heat sink to cool the passing air into the building. The EAPHE systems worked well in hot and dry climates. However, in the hot humid cl...
