What does the term Solar Passive Design actually mean? Passive solar design refers to the use of the sun's energy for the heating and cooling of living spaces. In this approach, the building itself or some element of it takes advantage of natural energy characteristics in materials and air
Passive design strategies help us maintain thermal comfort inside a building without the use of electricity as heating and cooling...
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.

Outside Melbourne, a light-filled residence with a private garden cuts a narrow figure to minimize solar impact.
Passive cooling systems are a type of building design that uses natural processes to cool a building without the use of mechanical systems.
We like Christopher Alexander's Notes on the Synthesis of Form for the way he takes a sledgehammer to the fetish over aesthetics and artistic pretension in design. We're often mystified by the design community's enthusiasm for uncomfortable chairs and weird-ass light fixtures. If the goal is to apply design principles
