====== Passive Houses in hot, humid climates ======

===== Dubai =====

(extract of the study //Passive Houses for different climate zones// which can be ordered [[http://passiv.de/literaturbestellung/index.php/en/?task=view&category_id=33|here]])

In Dubai, the hot summer with temperatures up to 45 °C requires good heat protection and light surfaces; heating is never needed. Triple solar protection glazing will minimize solar loads, ideally in combination with immovable shades. As a result, the cooling load can be reduced to a level that supply air can cover. Overnight ventilation is not an option for the eight months in which cooling is needed because of the high outdoor temperatures and air humidity, but it can be helpful in the winter. \\
