Passive building design beats urban heat, cools city without AC.
The article discusses how buildings in cities can be designed to stay cool without using a lot of energy. By testing different passive cooling methods, researchers found a way to keep indoor temperatures comfortable without making the outdoor area hotter. This new building design not only helps people inside stay cool, but also makes the surrounding area more pleasant. This study shows that it's possible to break the cycle of using more and more mechanical cooling to stay comfortable in a warming world.
