2. Passive cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_cooling

   Passive cooling covers all natural processes and techniques of heat dissipation and modulation without the use of energy. [1] Some authors consider that minor and simple mechanical systems (e.g. pumps and economizers) can be integrated in passive cooling techniques, as long they are used to enhance the effectiveness of the natural cooling process. [7]

3. Solar air conditioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_air_conditioning

   Active solar cooling wherein solar thermal collectors provide input energy for a desiccant cooling system. There are several commercially available systems that blow air through a desiccant impregnated medium for both the dehumidification and the regeneration cycle. The solar heat is one way that the regeneration cycle is powered.

4. Chilled beam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilled_beam

   A chilled beam is a type of radiation/convection HVAC system designed to heat and cool large buildings through the use of water. [1] This method removes most of the zone sensible local heat gains and allows the flow rate of pre-conditioned air from the air handling unit to be reduced, lowering by 60% to 80% the ducted design airflow rate and the equipment capacity requirements.

5. Solar chimney - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_chimney

   This solar chimney draws air through a geothermal heat exchange to provide passive home cooling. [2] [3]Solar chimneys, also called heat chimneys or heat stacks, can also be used in architectural settings to decrease the energy used by mechanical systems (systems that heat and cool the building through mechanical means).

6. Ventilative cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilative_cooling

   Ventilative cooling is the use of natural or mechanical ventilation to cool indoor spaces. [1] The use of outside air reduces the cooling load and the energy consumption of these systems, while maintaining high quality indoor conditions; passive ventilative cooling may eliminate energy consumption.
