Resilient cooling strategies – A critical review and qualitative assessment

The global effects of climate change will increase the frequency and intensity extreme events such as heatwaves power outages, which have consequences for buildings their cooling systems. Buildings systems should be designed operated to resilient under protect occupants from potentially dangerous indoor thermal conditions. This study performed a critical review on state-of-the-art strategies, with special attention performance outages. We proposed definition described four criteria resilience—absorptive capacity, adaptive restorative recovery speed —and used them qualitatively evaluate resilience each strategy. literature qualitative analyses show that attain cooling, considered in design phase building or during planning retrofits. relevant system characteristics simultaneously withstand events. A combination strategies different capacities, passive envelope strategy coupled low-energy space-cooling solution, may needed obtain cooling. Finally, further direction quantitative assessment approach has been pointed out.
