Pre-cooling strategies

Pre-cooling strategies involve lowering a building’s or space’s temperature before peak heat periods, usually during cooler parts of the day or night. This can be done using HVAC systems, natural ventilation, or cooling techniques like shading and insulation. The goal is to reduce the indoor temperature gradually, lessening the need for air conditioning when outdoor temperatures are highest. By doing so, pre-cooling improves energy efficiency, lowers utility costs, and makes indoor environments more comfortable during hot periods. It’s a proactive approach that helps manage heat and reduces strain on cooling systems during peak demand times.
