Abstract
In a hot climate, keeping a building's interior comfortable means slowing down the pace at which heat enters the structure and promoting the expulsion of extra heat. The current study examined the various passive strategies which can lead to optimal cooling in specialist hospitals in Nigeria. A qualitative research design was adopted as a blueprint and strategy for the study. Secondary data sources were adopted, existing studies were reviewed and the text was analyzed using a content analysis technique. From the analysis, the passive cooling strategies identified include; Natural ventilation, stack ventilation, sun shading system, insulation and evaporating cooling. Based on the available strategies, it is more acceptable to deploy passive cooling in general healthcare centres and specialized hospitals in particular.
