2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Windcatcher - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windcatcher

   The evaporative cooling within a windtower causes the air in the tower to sink, driving circulation. This is called passive downdraught evaporative cooling (PDEC). It may also be generated using spray nozzles (which have a tendency to get blocked if the water is hard) or cold-water cooling coils (like hydronic underfloor heating in reverse).

5. Ventilation (architecture) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilation_(architecture)

   The house opens onto a central atrium with an impluvium (open to the sky); the evaporative cooling of the water causes a cross-draft from atrium to garden. Primitive ventilation systems were found at the Pločnik archeological site (belonging to the Vinča culture ) in Serbia and were built into early copper smelting furnaces.

6. Air conditioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_conditioning

   An evaporative cooler In dry, hot climates, the evaporative cooling effect may be used by placing water at the air intake, such that the draft draws air over water and then into the house. For this reason, it is sometimes said that the fountain, in the architecture of hot, arid climates, is like the fireplace in the architecture of cold ...

7. Register (air and heating) - Wikipedia

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

   Ideally, a room will have both heating and cooling registers. In practice, cost considerations usually require that heating and cooling be provided by the same register. In such cases, heating most often takes precedence over cooling, and registers are usually found close to the floor. [7] For heating purposes, a floor register is preferred.
