Abstract
This chapter first describes the relation between the potential of ventilative cooling to reduce building cooling loads and the role of thermal storage to achieve this; thermal storage could be sensible in the form of exposed thermal mass embedded in the structure of the building or latent in the form of phase change materials embedded in the structure or decoupled from the structure but coupled with the ventilation system. The principles of how thermal storage contributes to passive cooling are described with examples from materialised case-studies. The chapter includes results related to the use of phase change materials in combination with ventilative cooling from an operational system.
