PHDC Symposium
LONDON PHDC Symposium:
Promotion and Dissemination of Passive and Hybrid Downdraught Cooling
Chair: Professor Brian Ford, Nottingham UniversityOrganisers: Nottingham University, University College London (The Bartlett), CIBSE SDG, CIBSE NVG, IBPSA-England
The Symposium will introduce different approaches to downdraught cooling and illustrate this by reference to case study buildings around the world. The market for PHDC in Europe, India and China, and life-cycle costs will also be addressed. Climatic applicability and design strategies and rules of thumb will be discussed prior to the introduction to the software tools in the workshop. In London, and special session will review the design and performance of the School of Slavonic and Eastern European Studies, UCL, to which a visit is planned for the Friday afternoon.
