Overnight free cooling in buildings brings potential benefits that have been known for some time. This study investigates those benefits when used in conjunction with an under floor air delivery system (UFAD). A detailed study using CFD was undertaken for a building in an airport in the UK with under floor air conditioning system and mechanical ventilation providing fresh air. Results show the energy consumption and peak cooling loads reductions when using night time cooling with outside air during the cooling season.
