Abstract The paper proposes a computational method to study and test the relationship between shape performance for built environment, sustaining use of smart geometry support design operation. A comprehensive working principles hyperboloidical cooling tower is presented. case in Marghera (Venice), 1938 explored.

Sasol One abstracts large volumes of water from various sources, such as the Zuikerbosch & Vaal River for various applications including make-up to the cooling water systems. In an attempt to evaluate the use of underground MW as an alternative cooling medium, two pilot-scale cooling towers (CTs) were used. Data of five runs (3 weeks each) at different linear flow velocities (LFVs) and cycles o...

Evaporative cooling is able to generate the cooling medium at a temperature approaching to the ambient wet bulb temperature. In this paper, a low-energy air conditioning strategy is proposed, which is a combination of cooled ceiling (CC), microencapsulated phase change material (MPCM) slurry storage and evaporative cooling technologies. The assessment of evaporative cooling availability and uti...
