HEAT GAINS
We completed the cooling calculations for each Module of the Domus Djilimbardi design using the ASHRAE method. This method will give us a basic understanding of the heat gains occurring during the hottest periods in summer.
As expected, and designed, the sleeping quarters perform the best, staying relatively cooler than the other areas.
The Living Quarters are exposed to the greatest heat gains, which is why we designed the dam underneath and included the most openable louvred walls, for increased ventilation and evaporative cooling.
