Design and Development of Nocturnal Water Cooling System for Building Space Cooling in Malaysian Tropical Climate

Building particularly in hot climate like Malaysia would require mechanical means of cooling such as the air conditioning system to cool down the building to an extent that the building becomes more dependent on air conditioning system as well as use of electrical energy. This use of cooling energy...
