A manual for the construction and design of affordable, passively-cooled medicine warehouses in hot climates is here presented. The manual addresses specifically some design hypotheses aiming to be low-cost, easily buildable, easily maintainable and suitable to keep inside temperatures low enough to robustly allow for the preservation of medicines. In the document, some construction hypotheses are presented and investigated to verify if the given requirements are met. The thermal behaviour of the proposed solutions has been investigated with the aid of the ESP-r software tool.

Abstract

A manual for the construction and design of affordable, passively-cooled medicine warehouses in hot climates is here presented. The manual addresses specifically some design hypotheses aiming to be low-cost, easily buildable, easily maintainable and suitable to keep inside temperatures low enough to robustly allow for the preservation of medicines. In the document, some construction hypotheses are presented and investigated to verify if the given requirements are met. The thermal behaviour of the proposed solutions has been investigated with the aid of the ESP-r software tool. The manual has been made available for free on the web and has been licensed with a Creative Common license.
