Cooling with ventilation

This document addresses the design of buildings using solar technologies integrated with air-conditioning to meet cooling needs in climates that seasonally experience both high temperatures and high humidity. Low-energy envelope design strategies that complement air conditioning are emphasized. The material deals primarily with detached single-family residences, although the principles are applicable to multistory apartment and condominium buildings and to small office and commercial buildings. Home builders and both present and future homeowners should find the contents useful.
