Once again, the trombe wall was installed to become the main form of passive design cooling in the home besides the cross-ventilation practices listed in the passive design plan. If it becomes too hot and the trombe wall is not able to cool the main room down, then active systems, such as the evaporative cooling system, fans and solar air conditioner will be able to cool down the home.

The home is also heavily shaded in its design and most of the sun’s solar rays should not be able to enter the main living area.

Through detailed shading design and the house layout, the client should be able to enjoy their property without having to turn on any active systems for most of the day, on the exception of the fans, which cost approximately 4cents/kWh to run, ultimately saving the clients money in the long run.

Low running costs compared to reverse cycle air conditioners.
The system operates very quietly, unlike most air conditoners or ducted heating systems. This is a reverse cycle system, so it can also be used for heating. Comes with a sensor that automatically turns on the air conditioner when the room temperature reaches above 26OC and turns it off when it reaches below the consumer’s desired temperature. This feature can be switched off if the client does not want it, as this system will only be used if the shading, fans, cross-ventilation and trombe wall does not work.

This system is deemed to be their quietest system.Low noise is a requirement bacuse if this system is running while the filming occurs, the sound of the system may be picked up in the microphones. Evaporative coolers need a connection from the mains water or the water supply of the home in order to function as that water is needed to cool the air that the system sucks in from the outside.
