Hi,
Forgive the nitpicking. This couldn't be a %100 passive at my home.
I'm on my own private well and it would take power to pump water up to the
top of the cooling tower. In reference to the cool storage thread, I
managed to find a copy of a book recommended in that thread and in that book
had reference to similar wind towers to aid air flow inside buildings.
After reading the book I better understand how they where/are able to make
ice outdoors in hot climates, again getting back to the cool storage thread.
Doug

: Swamp coolers don't work well with high humidity. What I am doing is to
: keep the metal roof cool so heat does not build up and come inside, that
: is all.
