Effect of Passive Solar Cooling Systems Performance on Indoor Air Quality in Buildings
Keywords:
Passive solar cooling, Indoor air quality, Building, Renewable energyAbstract
Passive cooling systems are designed to reduce or eliminate electrical and mechanical cooling equipment, mainly in areas where building cooling is an important issue in the summer season. Therefore, cooling as well as air conditioning is one of the main and most expensive problems of today's advanced buildings in many regions, especially in temperate and humid regions. This article looks into the effect of passive solar cooling systems on indoor air quality (IAQ) in buildings. Passive solar cooling, a sustainable design method, saves energy by relying on natural processes to regulate temperature. The study compares the effects of several passive cooling approaches, such as shade, natural ventilation, and thermal mass, on IAQ parameters like temperature, humidity, and pollutant levels. According to the research, almost 40% of the total energy production in developed societies is spent in the building sector, most of which is related to air conditioners. This article, using the descriptive-library method, examines the types of passive solar cooling systems in the optimal performance of energy in the building, and in this regard, tries to express the use of different types of energy saving in buildings passive solar cooling systems will be discussed.
