Abstract: The integration of renewable energy technologies into building cooling systems has become a critical component in advancing sustainability and reducing reliance on traditional energy sources. This case study explores the role of renewable energy, specifically solar cooling, geothermal cooling, and wind-assisted ventilation, in enhancing the performance and efficiency of building cooling systems. By analyzing real-world examples where these technologies have been successfully implemented, this study evaluates their technical feasibility, economic viability, and environmental impact. Through an in-depth examination of selected projects, the research highlights how the integration of renewable energy not only reduces carbon emissions but also enhances energy independence across various architectural environments. The cases explored provide valuable insights into the design, operation, and long-term maintenance of these systems, shedding light on the challenges encountered and best practices adopted during implementation. This study aims to equip architects, engineers, and energy managers with practical knowledge that can guide the adoption of renewable-based cooling solutions in modern building designs. Ultimately, the findings underscore the critical role of renewable energy-driven cooling systems in achieving net-zero energy goals and advancing green architecture.
