Developments on passive cooling in buildings - results from recent research.

This paper summarizes recent developments in natural and passive cooling in buildings and the main results from the European research project P ASCOOL. The project was completed at the end of 1995, after 2i'months of theoretical and experimental work resulting in a better understanding of passive cooling techniques and the development of tools and design guidelines.
