Abstract
A cooling system for a building including a lower space and an upper space with a ceiling positioned therebetween. The lower space has a window and an opening in the ceiling is spaced from the window so that the lower space is in air communication with the upper space. The window is covered by water absorbent, porous material having a water source in communication therewith. An opening from the upper space to the outdoors is positioned the length of the upper space from the opening in the ceiling. A fan system is positioned in the upper space to draw air form the lower space and directs the air out the opening to the outdoors. Whereby air is drawn through the water absorbent, porous material, through the opening in the ceiling, and travels the length of the upper space before exiting through the opening from the upper space to the outdoors.
