Since 1996 Prof Brian Ford has been investigating the application of passive downdraught evaporative cooling (PDEC). His research has led to the publication of a book (2010) summarising the state of the art of PDEC, and a number of keynote speeches and workshops in the last decade. This year Brian was invited to give workshops in Santiago, Chile in November 2012 and in London in March 2013. They were half day events at which the principles were presented and the issues of design integration were explored. The participants were also introduced to simple predictive/analytic tools.
