Abstract
This paper addresses the
applicability of passive and low energy cooling technologies in the Czech
Republic. The main research methods are climate analysis and buildings and
systems analysis, both with the objective to assess the building
performance potential of passive and low energy cooling technologies. The
analysis is based on case studies, which include building performance
simulation as well as in-situ monitoring. The role of computer simulation
in low energy building design and optimisation is briefly discussed.
Key words: cooling,
computer simulation, low energy buildings, case studies.
