English abstract:
This paper applies parametric simulation studies to examine the effectiveness of various passive cooling measures (external and internal shading, natural ventilation, phase change materials) toward the redeuction of overheating magnitudes in buildings in the middle-European and Mediterranean context.

Keywords:
passive cooling, overheating, shading, ventilation, phase change materials, simulation modeling
