RE: Intel's secret weapon: Fresh air

Here's a good idea... not original as they've done it at the new police station here in Mildura, Australia.... Yep, it's in the Desert.

Put at least one floor underground. Leave a space between the walls of the underground bit and the surrounding dirt, stabilise the dirt with spraycrete.

This provides a well of cool air which can be pumped directly into the the building or minimally conditioned first. With a bit of "green" engineering like double glazing and passive thermal design, they have all but obviated the need for air conditioning. Works for me!!!
