Stay cool, a design guide for the built environment in hot climates, aims to satisfy human comfort requirements through passive and environmental means. The book gives an outline of climatic issues, characteristics and thermal comfort requirements, and details the available techniques and technologies used to shape both built and external environments, the building envelope, material selections and natural ventilation and cooling methods to satisfy both human requirements and the need for energy efficiency.
The guide also contains a design checklist and a summary of available design checking tools, a rehabilitation guide for existing urban, building and external environments, and solar charts. Information is also included for planning and design using active design principles and passive means to satisfy human comfort requirements in hot climates, based on examples of traditional and modern constructions.
