I'm using subterraininan pipes to help cool the whole house. See https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=1790 for more details.
Basically it's a bunch of PVC pipes that are placed just under the house. The air flow is from outside, through the earth tubes and into the house. There are solar chimneys at the top of the house that, as the sun shines on them, draws air through the house and up through the chimneys. All using only the sun's energy.
