Passive cooling methods, such as shade, building materials, and strategic ventilation, can help maintain comfortable indoor temperatures without air conditioning. Timing is crucial to manage solar and environmental radiation effectively. Trees and vegetation around buildings aid in evaporative cooling, while cool roofs and rooftop gardens prevent heat absorption. Opening windows at night allows for cross ventilation and the release of heat from the building materials. Passive cooling can significantly reduce the need for air conditioning, benefiting both those with and without access to it.
