Preface
This guidebook on low-energy cooling and thermal comfort supports HVAC planners in reducing the cooling-energy demand, improving the indoor environment, and designing more cost-effective building concepts. High-performance buildings have shown that it is possible to go clearly beyond the energy requirements of existing legislation and obtaining good thermal comfort—both in summer and winter. However, there is still a strong uncertainty in day-to-day practice due to the lack of legislativ
