and also a new member of this mailing list. I am currently studying the use of
Passive downdraught evaporative cooling in buildings. I wish to use building
energy simulation tools to analyse the performance of different configurations
of the towers. I hope u all can help me with pointers on how I could approach
this problem. Your experiences with simulating evaporative cooling would be
very useful. Which simulation tools accomodate simulating passive evap cooling.
please give me some leads on it. hope to hear replies soon. thanks a ton.<br>
