Experimental assessment of a resilient air-cooling system under extreme heat events in southern European climate conditions

The global rise in average outdoor air temperatures has led to a significant increase in the demand for cooling energy in recent years. The development of resilient air-cooling systems capable of handling extreme heat events is essential to achieve the aim of Nearly Zero Energy Buildings. Ventilative cooling technologies based on indirect evaporative cooling systems are considered a sustainable solution in terms of indoor air quality and energy performance. 

Long-term energy performance of dew-point indirect evaporative cooler under the climate change world scenario

The progressive increase in the global average outdoor air temperature has caused an increase in the cooling demand in buildings in recent years. Given this climate change scenario, there is a need to develop efficient air-cooling systems that improve the energy efficiency of traditional direct expansion units. In this sense, ventilative cooling technologies should be tested under the climate change world scenario.
