Mammut Air Conditioning & Ventilation
Air-conditioning dates back to prehistory. Ancient Egyptian buildings used a wide variety of passive air-conditioning techniques.These became widespread from the Iberian Peninsula through North Africa, the Middle East, and Northern India Similar techniques were developed in hot climates elsewhere.
Passive techniques remained widespread until the 20th century, when they fell out of fashion, replaced by powered A/C. Using information from engineering studies of traditional buildings, passive techniques are being revived and modified for 21st-century architectural designs
Traits
Buildings designed with passive air conditioning are generally less expensive to construct than buildings with conventional HVAC systems, and maintenance costs are also lower. While tens of air changes per hour, and cooling of tens of degrees, can be achieved with passive methods, site-specific microclimate must be taken into account, complicating building design. Passive systems are mostly silent
