Terracotta Valley Wind
Terracotta subways reducing energy consumption
A terracotta evaporative cooling system that cools subway stations during summer and reduces energy consumption. Terracotta is an inexpensive and accessible clay material. Its nature allows water to quickly evaporate while utilizing the unused wind resource in subway stations, maximizing the value of train-induced wind.
