I’m not saying passive cooling doesn’t work, I’m aware of convection cooling systems, I’m just saying the article talks all about highs and doesn’t give any other data- is it capable of cooling the air below ambient? Is it simply allowing air to not creep above ambient? Does it generate measurable breeze?
I suspect it’s a combination of bricks being a heat sink and vents allowing convection currents, but I know what 100+ feels like in my garage with all the doors open and it’s still brutal.
According to this, the way to go in humid environments may be to make “green” roofs. I am not a scientist or scholar so I don’t know if that piece is credible or not and I only did a cursory scan of it. Maybe someone that knows more is willing to enlighten us.

Also how well do these cooling methods work with humid air.
