This paper describes the thermal performance of a cooling soil-integrated to building for a direct contact passive cooling system at the Research Station, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Eight experiments and statistical analysis were carried out for the system. Results suggest that the cooling the surface of the soil by watering and shading can provide cool indoor air and soil mass as well.
