What is Understanding Tropical Design Principles about?
Tropical design focuses on passive cooling through minimizing sun exposure and maximizing wind. Passive cooling uses natural ventilation instead of mechanical cooling, and works by inducing air movements which can improve thermal comfort up to 15 meters inside buildings. Different climates require different passive design approaches, such as maximizing wind exposure and internal airflow in hot humid climates, and thermal retention and radiant heat gain in cool climates.
