Project files for a passively cooled, low-cost, low tech medicine warehouse

This dataset is constituted by two types of files that have supported the definition of a design hypothesis for a passively-cooled, low-cost, low-tech medicine warehouse for hot climates. The first is a Sketchup file of the architectural model. Its layers are conceived to be turned on and off to explore the construction phases and details. The second file type is constituted by ESP-r model files (created with version 11 for Cygwin) ordered in directories. Each directory is named after a climatic location. The "cfg" folder of each directory contains several model configurations files (".cfg"). The project to which the above files refer to and the considerations deriving from the thermal simulations are presented in the publication: Gian Luca Brunetti (2009). Guidelines for the Design and Construction of Passively-cooled, Low-cost, Low-tech Medicine Warehouses for Hot Climates, and a Design Hypothesis Based on Dry Downdraught Cooling.
