Passive cooling in the built environment is now reaching is phase of maturity. Passive
cooling is achieved by the use of techniques for solar and heat control, heat amortization …

Energy saving is a vital element in today's scenario. Earth Air Heat Exchangers (EAHE) is a
technique that promotes energy savings. EAHE is a non-conventional technique that uses …

Greenhouse cultivation has evolved from simple covered rows of open-fields crops to highly
sophisticated controlled environment agriculture (CEA) facilities that projected the image of …

This paper provides an up-to-date survey on recent advances in earth-air heat exchanger
(EAHE) systems for buildings, and presents systematic information on the main design …

This paper reviews the available worldwide cooling technologies for agricultural
greenhouses and discusses the representative applications of each technology. Relevant …

There is a rising interest in heating and cooling systems based on renewable energy
sources. Air heating or cooling with earth-to-air heat exchangers (EAHE) is one approach for …

A complete model is used in this study for the prediction of the daily and annual variation of
ground surface temperature. This model is based on the transient heat conduction …

The present study deals with two methods for modeling and estimating the daily and annual
variation of soil surface temperature. Soil surface temperature is an important factor for …

The building sector is responsible for 40% of primary energy consumption, with
heating/cooling covering the most significant portion. Thus, passive heating/cooling …

The projected increase of the world's population, coupled with the shrinking area of arable
land required to meet future food demands, is building pressure on Earth's finite agricultural …
