SUMMARY:Designing for outdoor thermal comfort
DESCRIPTION:The conventional way of building accelerates heat island effect of cities and therefore decreases the quality of outdoor spaces\, especially in warm and humid climates. In times of global warming\, outdoor comfort is becoming an important factor for liveability and well-being of human habitats. \nWhile active systems only have a limited range and are not suitable for outdoor areas\, good passive design can make a big difference if an outdoor space feels comfortable or not. It determines how much and how often it is used. In many ways\, outdoor comfort complements high-performance buildings. \nThe webinar explains the principles of outdoor thermal comfort and how to evaluate it. It also illustrates strategies and examples of how to design for comfortable outdoor spaces\, especially in warm and hotter climates. \nAbout the speaker: \nAlexander works at Transsolar’s Munich office. His approach to the different projects is based on his architectural understanding in combination with energy efficiency and sustainable design. He has been involved in the development and implementation of innovative climate and outdoor comfort concepts. Alexander works on daylight and passive house calculations focusing on the holistic process. \nRegister here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/4203547706548123403 \nThis webinar is part of ‘NZEB Knowledge Series’ – an initiative supported by USAID’s MAITREE program (http://maitree.edsglobal.com) to accelerate the discussions and catalyse actions on Net Zero Energy Buildings in India.

SUMMARY:Evaporative Cooling Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Given a predominantly hot climate in India\, nearly half of a typical commercial building’s energy demand comes from comfort cooling making it a critical factor in deciding building performance. The type of cooling system plays an important role in the overall energy efficiency\, comfort\, operational cost of a building and its environmental impact. Modern evaporative cooling systems are a great low energy alternative to conventional refrigerant based systems – they are relatively inexpensive\, clean\, energy efficient and highly versatile. \nShamkant Mirashi\, head of ‘Arka Clean Technology‘\, has over a decade’s experience of designing evaporative cooling systems for industrial-scale setups. A serial entrepreneur in energy efficient tech\, he has perfected low-energy cooling systems for retrofit as well as greenfield projects\, designed and built around an entirely home-grown heat exchanger. In this webinar\, he will discuss different types of evaporative cooling technologies and their applications. He will explain how contemporary designs can work across climate types and why he believes indirect evaporative cooling-assisted HVAC is the future of low-energy cooling. \nThis webinar is part of ‘NZEB Knowledge Series‘ – an initiative supported by USAID’s MAITREE program to accelerate the discussions and catalyse actions on Net Zero Energy Buildings in India. This webinar-series will bring industry experts to share knowledge\, expertise\, ideas and showcase innovative products/projects/technology that can fuel discussions on building energy efficiency and grow engagement for NZEBs. \nRegister here- https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/399166001743293709 \nUpcoming events: http://www.nzeb.in/upcoming-events/
