“…A new water/airconditioning system for buildings is presented in Ref. [31]. It is constituted by a solar-driven adsorption chiller, a solar chimney (having 12 m 2 of area), and a cooling channel (having 24 m 2 of area), through which the hot air is cooled and distributed in the test room (having 200 m 3 of volume) under hot and humid, and hot and arid climate.…”

The chapter presents the recent studies focusing on optimizing the efficiency of air-conditioning (AC) systems using solar energy. For this purpose, several advanced AC plants (absorption, adsorption, and desiccant) are designed. Their technology and components are described in this chapter. It also discusses the energy intake of the solar energy use in airconditioning, especially in rural regions where the electricity shortage is frequent, as well as the reduction of the energy costs and the pollution rate. A comparison between solar AC systems and traditional AC systems at the level of the designs, costs, and effectiveness is made at the end of the chapter.

“…In any case, the coefficient of performance of the cooling system of 0.6 is low and the indoor climate does not satisfy normal wellbeing standards for couple of hours all through the cooling season. Another air-conditioning/ water system for structures is exhibited in the exploration studies by Jafari and Poshtiri (2017). It is established by a solar chiller area of 12 m 2 , a cooling channel area of 24 m 2 and a solar-driven adsorption chiller, via which the hot air is disseminated and cooled in the assessment chamber, having volume of 200 m 3 under moist and hot, and dry and hot climate.…”

This paper aims to present renewable air-conditioning as a sustainable system for varied climatic conditions with the feasibility of optimization to reduce the level of energy consumption and the rate of carbon emissions. Extreme use of air-conditioning has caused substantial growth in the level of energy consumption and carbon emissions. This fact clarifies the requirement for considering improvement applications of renewable energy sources for air-conditioning systems. The components of solar air-conditioning are studied and employed as the basis for system optimization. The approach this paper presented implements a key component-based modelling analysis of renewables and modelling concepts that the geometry of this air-conditioning is founded on. The optimized model is performed using Polysun program, a renewable system analysis tool. As an exercise in the system modelling, the principle component analysis also accounts for the renewables of air-conditioning in relation to the context of the application and with respect to their integration into the climatic conditions of London, Toulouse and Rome. This, in turn, allows for the interpretation of the findings on the significance of renewables in energy consumption and carbon emissions. It also allows for the generation of a sustainability-based system that can reduce the level of energy consumption and the rate of carbon emissions. In this way, this paper uncovers the significance of renewables as a source of clean energy and sustainable practice in air-conditioning. It also reveals the particular contribution they make to the levels of energy consumption and carbon emissions that not only tackles global warming but also combats climate change.

“…; the evaporation of water in confined environments is the technique that was used the most remote times. Additional devices are often used to optimize these systems such as the induction of air motions, shaded areas, the planting of particular species arboreal capable of integrating the heat exchange 1 . This phenomenon was already known from Romans, who put water in clay jars which sweated and evaporating, made it cool the surrounding air; in the Arab world they used to put in front of windows curtains, constantly wet or porous skins full of water.…”

As answer to climate change and to new and growing demands of temperature and humidity comfort in housing, it follows the increasing of air conditioning technologies; this evolutional trend involves high energy consumption. The proposed work is oriented to analyze traditional and innovative techniques for cooling indoor and outdoor air by the use of water. In the Mediterranean traditional architecture the cooling techniques are mainly based on the principle of water evaporation, this purpose is achieved through the introduction of water into the environment, by means of various systems: stagnant water in lakes and basins, or water in motion with fountains, waterfalls, splashes, etc. Over the time, traditional buildings have been conditioned by these techniques for cooling through the use of water up to reach complex and sophisticated architectural designs. Starting from this heritage, innovative systems have been developed to reach higher performance to integrate building systems, both traditional as well as moderns, in order to ensure a significant reduction of energy consumption.
