SOLUTION - Research 1: Pdec research project, Progetto ni ricerca
- The PDEC towers combine and exploit the concepts of evaporative cooling with the downdraught effect.
- It is possible to cool different areas at different times
- Each tower can be controlled, therefore controlling the amount of air being cooled
- Natural light can be distributed through building allowing an increase in floor depth
- This is a new approach to cooling buildings with a 'natural organism', the tower performing the jobs of more than one mechanical counterpart. Lighting, structure, cooling and ventilation.
