Abstract :
In a hot climate, keeping a building's interior
comfortable means slowing down the pace at which heat
enters the structure and promoting the expulsion of
extra heat. The current study examined the various
passive strategies which can lead to optimal cooling in
specialist hospitals in Nigeria. A qualitative research
design was adopted as a blueprint and strategy for the
study. Secondary data sources were adopted, existing
studies were reviewed and the text was analyzed using a
content analysis technique. From the analysis, the
passive cooling strategies identified include; Natural
ventilation, stack ventilation, sun shading system,
insulation and evaporating cooling. Based on the
available strategies, it is more acceptable to deploy
passive cooling in general healthcare centres and
specialized hospitals in particular.
