One of Europe’s Hottest Cities Rediscovers an Old Cooling Technique
By Laura Millan
August 8, 2023"The streets of #Seville in southern #Spain were so hot that July afternoon that it felt almost impossible to walk outdoors. As temperatures approached 42C (108F), people scrambled to find shelter in air-conditioned homes, offices and public buildings. Yet, less than two miles from the city center, a cool breeze blew under a giant white roof.
"The structure is a part of CartujaQanat, an architectural experiment in cooling solutions that doesn’t rely on burning more planet-warming #FossilFuels. The site, about the size of two soccer fields, includes two auditoriums, green spaces, a promenade and a shaded area with benches. But its star performer remains hidden — the qanat, a network of underground pipes and tubes inspired by Persian-era canals.
"The grid of #aqueducts can lower surrounding temperatures by as much as 10C using just air, water and #solar power, according to Emasesa, the Seville public water company that helped to build it. The system is modeled on ancient tunnels dug to bring water to agricultural fields that were first documented in what is today #Iran. The Persians realized 1,000 years ago that the running water also cooled the air in the canals, so they fashioned vertical shafts to bring that air to the surface.
" 'This is not an air-conditioning system like the one you may have in your home,' says Juan Luis López, the project’s supervisor and an engineer at Emasesa. 'We use natural techniques and materials to reduce temperatures.' "

Notoriously hot city rediscovers ancient technique to help its residents stay cool
Story by Rick Kazmer
November 13, 2023“Thousand-year-old #Persian technology could help officials in #SevilleSpain, to tackle extreme #overheating, if only modern-day politics can stay out of the way.
“City leaders are bracing for temperatures that are expected to pass 120 degrees Fahrenheit in the coming years. In response, they are working on a project in the city’s Isla de la Cartuja that uses a '#bioclimatic'effort to cool down, according to #UrbanInnovativeActions.
“This is not an air-conditioning system like the one you may have in your home,'Juan Luis López, an engineer and the project’s supervisor, told Bloomberg Green. 'We use natural techniques and materials to reduce temperatures.”
“The project, called #CartujaQanat, could cost around $5 million or more, funded in part by the European Union. Some of the work is already complete, with the goal of cooling the air down for the busy city.
“A Bloomberg report describes architecture that fosters breezes, fresh #GreenSpaces, and underground #aqueducts that borrow from ancient civilizations. The water flow can cool the nearby environment using air, water, and #SolarPower.
“The latter tech is fascinating, yet simple. Water is brought into underground tanks at night, where it cools. During the day, solar-powered pumps send the water through pipes, which travel by fans, creating cooler air. 'Small openings in the floor and steps allow the refreshing current to seep into the square,'all per a Bloomberg description.
“And while progress has been made, Bloomberg reports that a change in Spanish political leadership has placed the work in 'limbo.'When Bloomberg visited the site in July, the news agency reported that it was not open to the public. There was overgrown vegetation 'and piles of dried leaves.'Delayed contract bids, inflation, and other roadblocks are slowing progress as well.
“However, #Seville’s new mayor, José Luis Sanz, told Bloomberg that he supports the project, noting '[that the] impacts of #ClimateChange are more than obvious.'
“As planet overheating continues to set records, clean ways to cool populated places without adding to #AirPollution are vital. This project in Seville, which borrows from the work of ancient Persians, could be a model for other cities.
'The goal is to test the technology, to learn from it, and fine-tune it so we can replicate what works elsewhere,'López told Bloomberg.”
