Resilient Cooling describes low energy cooling solutions for buildings that strengthen the ability of individuals and our community as a whole to withstand, and also prevent, thermal and other impacts of changes in global and local climates. This project aims to develop cooling solutions for buildings, which are efficient, affordable and climate-protective, but also robust and supportive in cases of extreme weather occurrences in the context of a specific climate. The project will focus on the study of ventilation systems and how these could provide acceptable indoor air quality and cooling during the summer period through thermal mass utilization, Phase Change Materials and off-peak storage.
A student with a mechanical engineering background will be most suited for this project. Familiarity with buildings and their services will be an advantage.
Funding Notes
Brunel offers a number of funding options to research students that help cover the cost of their tuition fees, contribute to living expenses or both. See more information here: View Website.
