Abstract: This paper focuses on potential applications of evaporative cooling (EC) and an associated survey of research requirements of EC as supplied
in residential and small commercial buildings. To prepare this work, the literature in the field was reviewed and people active in the field were contacted.
Sixteen recommendations are presented and described in the paper including institutional issues, appropriate roles for EC systems, necessary analysis and
testing, proper applications, and hardware development needs. These recommendations represent composite opinions from the literature review and phone
conversations as analyzed by the authors.
