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.
