Brickoole is a passive cooling system within a building’s structure. It uses controlled airflow and evaporative cooling to reduce indoor temperatures without external energy. it represents a rethinking exercise in building materials and advancement in sustainable building temperature control. Inspired by windcatchers, Brikoole uses evaporative cooling from outdoor winds to reduce indoor air temperature by up to 6.2°C. In Malaysia’s tropical climate, Brikoole drops temperatures from 37°C to 31°C, reducing dependence on air conditioning. By optimizing temperature control, Brikoole minimizes AC usage, cutting energy costs for businesses and homes. Reduced AC operation leads to lower electricity consumption and decreased carbon emissions from power generation. Brikoole bricks can be installed in your home or workplace to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures naturally, letting you enjoy a cooler space while saving on energy bills - all without lifting a finger.
