Passive cooling techniques like natural ventilation can provide indoor comfort with zero energy use through strategies like stack ventilation, cross ventilation and night ventilation.
passive solar buildings
Passive solar buildings utilize passive solar gain and thermal mass to minimize energy costs and provide comfort. They are designed to maximize winter sun exposure through large, south-facing windows while minimizing overheating in summer through features like eaves, shading, and insulation. Thermal mass materials like concrete or brick absorb solar heat from windows and re-radiate it to maintain an even temperature without needing active heating systems. Proper orientation, insulation, and passive solar techniques can significantly reduce a building's energy costs through natural heating and cooling.

passive cooling
This document discusses passive cooling techniques for buildings that do not require energy usage. It introduces passive cooling as preventing heat gain or removing heat without energy consumption. Specific passive cooling techniques covered include ventilation cooling using cross ventilation and stack ventilation to move air, nocturnal radiation cooling by releasing heat at night, evaporative cooling by evaporating water, and radiative cooling using cool roofs. The advantages of passive cooling are reducing equipment costs, maintenance needs, and energy consumption while improving indoor thermal comfort.
Passive cooling architecture
The document discusses various passive cooling architecture techniques including earth berming, earth air tunnels, wind towers, and thermal walls. Earth berming involves partially burying homes underground or behind earthen walls for insulation. Earth air tunnels use underground pipes to exchange air with stable earth temperatures for natural heating and cooling. Wind towers catch breezes at higher elevations and direct air downward into buildings. Thermal walls made of materials like concrete and brick absorb and store heat to moderate indoor temperatures without mechanical cooling.

Optimizing Gradle Builds - Gradle DPE Tour Berlin 2024
Sinan from the Delivery Hero mobile infrastructure engineering team shares a deep dive into performance acceleration with Gradle build cache optimizations. Sinan shares their journey into solving complex build-cache problems that affect Gradle builds. By understanding the challenges and solutions found in our journey, we aim to demonstrate the possibilities for faster builds. The case study reveals how overlapping outputs and cache misconfigurations led to significant increases in build times, especially as the project scaled up with numerous modules using Paparazzi tests. The journey from diagnosing to defeating cache issues offers invaluable lessons on maintaining cache integrity without sacrificing functionality.

The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

An improved modulation technique suitable for a three level flying capacitor ...
This research paper introduces an innovative modulation technique for controlling a 3-level flying capacitor multilevel inverter (FCMLI), aiming to streamline the modulation process in contrast to conventional methods. The proposed
simplified modulation technique paves the way for more straightforward and
efficient control of multilevel inverters, enabling their widespread adoption and
integration into modern power electronic systems. Through the amalgamation of
sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) with a high-frequency square wave
pulse, this controlling technique attains energy equilibrium across the coupling
capacitor. The modulation scheme incorporates a simplified switching pattern
and a decreased count of voltage references, thereby simplifying the control
algorithm.

- 1. Harare, Zimbabwe THE EASTGATE CENTRE
- 2. THE EASTGATE CENTRE Ar. Mick Pearce
- 3. Ø Mick Pearce is the architect who designed a retail building called the EastGate Centre in Harare, Zimbabwe. Ø He wanted to keep the building cool in the hot summers but he wanted to do this with minimum energy use. Ø He studied how termites build their mounds which keep remarkably cool.
- 4. Ø He designed a natural cooling system that mimicks the workings of a termite nest. Ø The building uses one-tenth of the energy of conventional building
- 5. Ø Termites design their homes which control the temperature of their living space even in the hottest of climates. Ø Dens are able to maintain comfortable temperatures(87 degree F) that require less additional heating/cooling mechanisms. Ø The mimicking building has large chimneys that naturally draw in cool air at night to lower the temperature of the floor slabs, just like termite dens.
- 6. Ø During the day, these slabs retain the coolness, greatly reducing the need for supplemental air conditioning. Ø Uses 90 percent less energy to heat and cool than traditional buildings.
- 7. Start of day: the building is cool. During day: machines and people generate heat, and the sun shines. Heat is absorbed by the fabric of the building, which has a high heat capacity, so that the temperature inside increases but not greatly. Evening: temperatures outside drop. The warm internal air is vented through chimneys, assisted by fans but also rising naturally because it is less dense, and drawing in denser cool air at the bottom of the building.
- 8. Night: this process continues, cold air flowing through cavities in the floor slabs until the building's fabric has reached the ideal temperature to start the next day. Passively cooled, Eastgate uses only 10% of the energy needed by a similar conventionally cooled building.
