BSO 2022: 6th Conference of IBPSA, Bath, İngiltere, 13 - 14 Aralık 2022, ss.1-7, (Tam Metin Bildiri)
Due to global warming, the cooling requirements increase even in locations with broad heating periods. The integration of passive cooling systems, especially in buildings and settlements in hot-dry climates, contributes to the decay of energy consumption. The selection of the appropriate material and determination of the application technique is a significant issue since passive cooling systems significantly affect energy performance. In the study, a hypothetical residential building, assumed to be built with the rammed earth technique in Diyarbakır with hot-dry climate characteristics, is used to evaluate the suitability of wind towers in terms of natural ventilation and thermal comfort performance.
