Investigation of passive cooling techniques for hot-humid climates. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6630691
Each feasible passive cooling technique and its application and limitation when applied to hot-humid climates are described. The experimental and theoretical progress toward developing the Detached Earth Tempering concept as a viable passive cooling technique is detailed. The computer simulation, the experimental fields, and many refinements of the basic concept are discussed. (MHR)
