The Powerful Cooling Technique We Learned From Termites
Nature is a powerful teacher if we take the time to look and listen closely. It has already solved many challenges that humans believe cannot be solved without technology.
But some designers are smart enough to take their cues from nature and Startup Lions Campus, alongside similar projects, prove that these solutions can be quite powerful.

    On a much smaller and simpler scale here in Rarotonga I have seen the double roof affect on a 35sqm foldable house. Brilliant idea and cools the house so well. Another huge benefit of the double roof especially if there is wide overhangs is that the house is protected by the elements so much better because of the large roof overhead.

    This may be a good building design. I'm not sure because this video was long on blah, blah, blah, and very short on facts. I never even saw a measurement of the indoor temperature compared to the outdoor temperature. Or the indoor temperatures of two buildings compared -- a normal house and this one. Way too much fluff and no substance. Enthusiasm does not equal science or results.

      Hiya! It depends on the project. I would say, every time you make a big design decision, add a precedent. For example, if you decide on timber structure instead of concrete, you can show a precedent. Or if you use some type of shading over another, I’d show some precedents. Hope this helps!

    As someone who lives in a house like this, I will tell you that it definitely takes a few degrees off, but only works when the wind is blowing (even a little bit of wind is good) and if it is not humid. Even then, I would not call this a ‘Fridge School’ as the TKSST labeled this video link on their site. And if the wind is not blowing or it gets humid (not a problem in the desert), it is still extremely hot and those from the west who say otherwise are probably posting this from their air-conditioned apartment in the city. There is a reason they never gave us a temperature reading in this video, despite this being the focus and key measurement that would empirically verify their achievement. Again this building is a great design, but it capabilities are still overhyped and I doubt people in the city are going to swap places with these people.

    This is a really cool and amazing idea, but what about rain water harvesting from the rooftop Or from the surrounding area to recharge your tube wells, wells or lake; moreover you could have used foldable solar panels incorporated on the roof top to power the essential electrical/electronics devices within the building... Although the main problem is heat hence it will cause water to be evaporated faster, which is why securing the water source must have been the priority then other things, "There is no life without water", then what good cold buildings gonna do if you are outta fresh pure drinking water...💧💦 Please find a source of water first then only will these things surely help... # CLIMATE CHANGE is not gonna show mercy upon anybody, #Permaculture is the only solution for the physical world, and #Vedant by "Acharya Prashant" is the solution for the Mental world. It's our last chance to save everyone, spread the word ASAP.

When my grandparents passed away their home was sold. The new owners were going to tear down the patio until my uncle explained how the roof over the patio worked.
