What is Environmental Science and Sustainable Development about?
Reaching thermal comfort levels in hot-arid climates is becoming more difficult nowadays without the use of high energy-consuming mechanical systems. Therefore, the need to use effective passive energy design techniques, such as earth-sheltered buildings, is becoming greater. This paper describes research, that uses monitoring and simulations, to evaluate basements’ thermal performance, which reached thermal comfort levels without active air-conditioning systems, despite the harsh climate conditions.
