Nándor Zagyi: Traditional Energy – Free Solutions for Ventilation and Air-Cooling in Arid Tropical Areas of Asia
Nowadays, more and more air-conditioning devices are installed to cool the inner spaces of dwelling and public buildings in the populous developing countries. Therefore, it is worth drawing attention to those traditional methods and architectural forms by which comfortable air conditions could be generated in the hot arid and semi-arid areas of the Planet.
