Benefits obtained through ventilative cooling include:

• Reduction of the need of cooling capacity (kW)
• Reduction of the cooling energy consumption (kWh)
• Reduction of the CO₂ emission
• Comfortable or lower indoor air temperatures in case of a cooling demand

Several studies have demonstrated the energy savings potential of ventilative cooling techniques. Consult the list of articles below with details on the energy saving potential.
