H. Abstract: ABSTRACT An in-depth review of current & upcoming technologies for achieving “Passive Cooling & HVAC systems” has been presented in this paper. As per the “Energy Performance of Building Directive” framed by European commission, nearly zero energy building (nyZEB) condition will be compulsory for all buildings erected/constructed by end of the year 2020 for all European member states. As the massive amount of total annual energy consumption in a country is spent on residential complexes & buildings, a huge potential is available to optimize the power consumption & improve the energy efficiency. This paper particularly focuses on recent trends in passive cooling & HVAC system for the sake of achieving energy efficient air conditioning & ventilations in buildings Fri, 11 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/2640 2019-01-11T00:00:00Z
