[BLDG-SIM] Evaporative cooling

[Sayyed, Autif]

Hello Sangeetha,
 
I have used the downdraft evaporative cooling calculation tool which, as
mentioned by Eric, was developed by Martin Yoklic and Nader Chalfoun at
Univ. of Arizona. The tool is called `Cool T', and is a very nifty and easy
to use (and only 88kb in size). I think it has been validated using data
from some cool towers built in Tucson and elsewhere. The big limitation with
that program is that it can only simulate the towers in only 6 locations
(Phoenix USA, Tucson USA, Riyadh Saudi Arabia, Gabarone Botswana, Dubai UAE
and Long Beach USA). A classmate of mine ( geraldpde at hotmail.com
<mailto:geraldpde at hotmail.com> ) at Arizona State Univ. is working on
developing a Java based interface and engine which can take in different
weather files (TMY2 or EPW). I am sure Nader and Martin can help you best.

Hi all, I am a grad student of Architecture at the Univ of Oregon and also a
new member of this mailing list. I am currently studying the use of Passive
downdraught evaporative cooling in buildings. I wish to use building energy
simulation tools to analyse the performance of different configurations of
the towers. I hope u all can help me with pointers on how I could approach
this problem. Your experiences with simulating evaporative cooling would be
very useful. Which simulation tools accomodate simulating passive evap
cooling. please give me some leads on it.  hope to hear replies soon. thanks
a ton.
Sangeetha
