2. Ventilative cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilative_cooling

   Passive cooling building components (convective components, evaporative components, phase change components) Actuators (chain, linear, rotary) Sensors (temperature, humidity, air flow, radiation, CO 2, rain, wind) Control strategies in ventilative cooling solutions have to control the magnitude and the direction, of air flows in space and time.

3. Register (air and heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register_(air_and_heating)

   Usually, a register is placed near a window or door, which is where the greatest heat/cooling loss occurs. [4] [5] In contrast, returns (grilled ducts which suck air back into the HVAC system for heating or cooling) are usually placed in the wall or ceiling nearest the center of the building. Generally, in rooms where it is critical to maintain ...

4. Heat recovery ventilation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_recovery_ventilation

   Diagramatic operation of a thermal wheel Ljungström Air Preheater by Swedish engineer Fredrik Ljungström (1875–1964). A thermal wheel, also known as a rotary heat exchanger, or rotary air-to-air enthalpy wheel, energy recovery wheel, or heat recovery wheel, is a type of energy recovery heat exchanger positioned within the supply and exhaust air streams of air-handling units or rooftop ...

5. Evaporative cooler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative_cooler

   An evaporative cooler (also known as evaporative air conditioner, swamp cooler, swamp box, desert cooler and wet air cooler) is a device that cools air through the evaporation of water. Evaporative cooling differs from other air conditioning systems, which use vapor-compression or absorption refrigeration cycles.

6. Air conditioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_conditioning

   Passive cooling is an important tool for design of buildings for climate change adaptation – reducing dependency on energy-intensive air conditioning in warming environments. [ 119 ] [ 120 ] A pair of short windcatchers ( malqaf ) used in traditional architecture; wind is forced down on the windward side and leaves on the leeward side ( cross ...

7. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating,_ventilation,_and...

   Rooftop HVAC unit with view of fresh-air intake vent Ventilation duct with outlet diffuser vent. These are installed throughout a building to move air in or out of rooms. In the middle is a damper to open and close the vent to allow more or less air to enter the space. The control circuit in a household HVAC installation.

8. Evaporative cooling chambers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative_cooling_chambers

   Evaporative cooling chambers (ECCs), also known as "zero energy cool chambers" (ZECCs), are a type of evaporative cooler, which are simple and inexpensive ways to keep vegetables fresh without the use of electricity. Evaporation of water from a surface removes heat, creating a cooling effect, which can improve vegetable storage shelf life.

9. Fan (machine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_(machine)

   In 1909, KDK of Japan pioneered the invention of mass-produced electric fans for home use. In the 1920s, industrial advances allowed steel fans to be mass-produced in different shapes, bringing fan prices down and allowing more homeowners to afford them. In the 1930s, the first art deco fan (the "Silver Swan") was designed by Emerson. [11]
