DoomsdaysCW<p>Natural cooling methods in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Morocco" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Morocco</span></a></p><p>October 27, 2024</p><p>"Morocco’s hot and dry climate makes it hard to keep homes cool. But, the country’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TraditionalArchitecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TraditionalArchitecture</span></a> has found clever ways to beat the heat. Using the environment, Moroccan builders have created natural cooling methods. </p><p>"They use things like porous [clay] jars and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mashrabiyas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mashrabiyas</span></a>. These techniques keep homes cool without needing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AirConditioning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AirConditioning</span></a>. </p><p>Key Takeaways</p><p>- Moroccan architecture uses passive cooling like thermal mass design, shading, and ventilation.<br>- Evaporative cooling systems like porous jars and mashrabiyas cool homes by evaporation.<br>- Features like wind catchers, courtyards, and underground irrigation help cool naturally.<br>- Modern projects are using these old methods in new buildings for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sustainable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sustainable</span></a> cooling.<br>- Moroccan cooling methods show a deep understanding of the local climate and a focus on comfort and well-being.</p><p>Traditional Moroccan Architecture:</p><p>"Moroccan architecture shows the clever use of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> to make homes comfortable. At its core are the riads, traditional Moroccan houses. These houses have thick walls of clay or stone that keep the inside cool, even when it’s very hot outside. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Riads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Riads</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Courtyards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Courtyards</span></a></p><p>The central courtyard, often with a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>garden</span></a> or fountain, acts as a natural air conditioner. In Fez, where it can get up to 104°F (40°C) in July, this design makes air conditioning unnecessary. The thick walls and central courtyard work together to keep the inside cool. </p><p>Khettaras and Fountains</p><p>"Traditional Moroccan architecture also uses advanced irrigation systems called khettaras. These systems bring water from the mountains to the cities. This water is used for cooling fountains and pools, lowering the temperature through evaporation.</p><p>"The sound of water and greenery in these courtyards make a peaceful and cool atmosphere. This adds to the natural cooling effect.</p><p> "The architecture in Morocco showcases a sustainable and cost-effective model for contemporary buildings, emphasizing the effectiveness of design and natural materials over reliance on air conditioning.'</p><p>"The traditional Moroccan building methods teach us about sustainable design. They use local, natural materials and work with the environment. This is a valuable lesson for modern architecture around the world."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://moroccandiaspora.com/natural-cooling-methods-in-morocco/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">moroccandiaspora.com/natural-c</span><span class="invisible">ooling-methods-in-morocco/</span></a></p><p>Archived version:<br><a href="https://archive.ph/0OMUu" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.ph/0OMUu</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/heatwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>heatwave</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Heatwaves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Heatwaves</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KeepingCool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KeepingCool</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TraditionalDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TraditionalDesign</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MoroccanArchitecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MoroccanArchitecture</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TraditionalArchitecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TraditionalArchitecture</span></a></p>
