The maximisation of energy efficiency in buildings can be performed by successful demonstration of the passive technologies. Passive cooling is passing to a phase of maturity, while significant research has been performed worldwide. The aim of this chapter is to underline and review the recent state-of-the-art technologies for passive cooling convective strategies for buildings and their contribution in the improvement of the indoor environmental quality as well as in the reduction of cooling needs. The paper starts with a short introduction in passive cooling needs and continues with the analysis of the two passive cooling convective techniques, i.e. ground cooling and night ventilation.
