Investigation of Airflow Patterns in a New Design of Wind Tower with a Wetted Surface

Investigation of Airflow Patterns in a New Design of Wind Tower with a Wetted Surface

Passive cooling systems, such as wind towers, can help to reduce energy consumption in buildings and at the same time reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Wind towers can naturally ventilate buildings and also can create enhanced thermal comfort for occupants during the warm months. This study pro...
