What is a building cooling system in Burkina Faso?

Building cooling system The most utilized building cooling system in Burkina Faso is the split system ( Nikyema and Blouin, 2020 ). A split HVAC system is an air conditioning or heating system consisting of interior and outdoor units linked by copper tubing.

Does night ventilation improve the comfort of a Burkinabe home?

For the traditional Burkinabe dwelling cases, night ventilation has practically no effect in the comfort improvement (only 1% decrease for hours of discomfort), whereas the solar protection is very effective improving comfort, with a 37% reduction for hours of discomfort indicator and 77% reduction in discomfort degree-days.

Can a solar hive improve internal thermal condition of a beehive?

In the current study, a new beehive system integrated with solar thermal/PV system is introduced to optimize the internal thermal condition of the beehive. To determine the operating performance of the solar hive, field experimental investigation on the solar hive and a traditional hive was conducted in a local bee farm all the year round.

Can Earthbag Building improve thermal comfort in Burkina Faso?

Technical solutions, respect for the existing environment, passive designs and tradition should be combined to build more sustainable and thermally comfortable buildings. This study is particularly interested in introducing earthbag building as a sustainable, feasible, cheap and comfortable solution to improve thermal comfort in Burkina Faso.

Will building cooling loads increase in Burkina Faso by 2080?

According to Ouedraogo et al. , building cooling loads in Burkina Faso will increase up to 99% by 2080, compared to the current situation. For all this, alternative models of urban planning better adapted to poor countries and including passive systems are required.

Do passive measures improve thermal comfort in Burkinabe homes?

The same combination of passive measures in the traditional Burkinabe dwelling improves significantly thermal comfort when compared to the base case, but it is not as effective in providing comfort, with more than 3000 h and 200 degree-days of annual discomfort.
