In the quest for sustainable cooling solutions, a 60-square-foot shipping container is leading the way as a testing ground. Washington State University researchers are harnessing ancient cooling methods, devoid of greenhouse gas emissions, to combat modern-day heat. Imagine a world where buildings are cooled not by electricity, but by the evaporation of water atop wind towers. A staggering 60% of the world’s electricity powers our buildings, with nearly a fifth of that dedicated solely to cooling. As the global thermostat rises, our reliance on air conditioning could create a damaging feedback loop, increasing carbon emissions. The future of cooling might … Continue reading 2500 BC Cooling Technology Meets Modern Design as a Sustainable Solution
