Study Of A Water Cooled Wall To Reduce Residential Indoor Temperatures At Night

High indoor temperatures during the early night cause a reduction in the occupants’ comfort, resulting in a higher energy and cost demand. This in turn calls for a study on the usage of a specialised cooling system for night time usage that utilizes natural resources. Not many studies have been con...
