Abstract: We identify a number of passive techniques for space cooling, using the thermal capacity of the ground in traditional buildings. The techniques used involve completely or partially underground houses, thick walls, and floor slabs on the ground. Results show that the cooling potential of the floor varies from 0.2 MJ/m2-day in the region near the Mediterranean coast to 0.6 MJ/m2-day in the southern region of Libya.
