jahutusvõimendus
Jahutusvõimendus, also known as cooling gain, refers to the reduction in energy consumption achieved by a cooling system in a building. This reduction is primarily realized through various passive and active strategies that minimize the cooling load required to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. Passive strategies include architectural design elements such as proper insulation, high-performance windows, shading devices like overhangs and louvers, and the use of reflective roofing materials to reduce solar heat gain. Natural ventilation techniques, such as cross-ventilation and stack effect, can also contribute to cooling gain by allowing cooler outdoor air to displace warmer indoor air.
Active strategies for achieving cooling gain often involve optimizing the performance of the cooling system itself.
