by Mehdi N. Bahadori, Alireza Dehghani-Sanij, Ali Sayigh
Paperback / softback
Description
This unique volume provides the only holistic treatment of wind towers, a core aspect of sustainable architecture in hot, arid climates.
The authors explain how traditional incarnations of these structures provide significant decreases in energy consumption through their use of renewable wind resources to cool buildings and water storage facilities.
Beginning with the underlying scientific principles, the design and operation of wind towers is explained in depth and suggestions for optimization are provided, supported by the authors' findings from recent analytical studies.
