This ACPI specification defines means for cooling computer systems:

1 . Active cooling methods
2 . Passive cooling methods

For Microsoft literature, you would download "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface Specification (ACPI), V . 2 . 0" in the "Power Management and ACPI Specifications" sub-section here:

and look at,

3 . 10 Thermal Management . . . . . 9
3 . 10 . 1 Active and Passive Cooling Modes . . . . 9
3 . 10 . 2 Performance vs . Energy Conservation . . . . 9
3 . 10 . 3 Acoustics (Noise) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9
3 . 10 . 4 Multiple Thermal Zones . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9
