Using natural circumstances to lessen the need for artificial or mechanical climate control is known as passive design Strategies. This means making the most of natural components by optimizing a building's layout, materials, openings, and orientation, which will ultimately improve environmental comfort. When these techniques are widely used, individual buildings become more ecologically friendly and their overall energy usage is drastically decreased.

Passive Heating Techniques - Free download as Powerpoint Presentation (.ppt / .pptx), PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or view presentation slides online. Passive solar design uses sunlight to heat buildings without mechanical devices. There are three main approaches: direct gain, indirect gain, and isolated gain. Direct gain involves south-facing windows and thermal mass to store heat. Indirect gain uses elements like Trombe walls between windows and living spaces to absorb and transfer…
