Passive cooling experimental facility hot/arid zone. VI. Sensor locations and installation at the Passive Cooling Experimental Facility for a hot/arid climate
The Passive Cooling Experimental Facility for a Hot/Arid Climate was built in response to a need to bring the state of the art of passive and hybrid cooling up to that of passive solar heating. In order to accomplish this goal, three test structures and a data acquisition building were constructed. Each test structure demonstrates different construction techniques, including high-mass and low-mass construction and combinations of the two. The facility was designed to test the greatest number of passive cooling strategies appropriate to hot/arid climates in the shortest time frame possible. Passive cooling strategies are based on evaporation, nocturnal radiation, earth contact and ventilation. This document includes diagrams of sensor locations and installations for the data acquisition building and each of the three structures.
