Sustainable Living: Principles of Passive Design
Passive design strategies that provide comfort without energy consumption: orientation, insulation and natural ventilation.
Passive design aims to create comfortable living spaces with minimal reliance on mechanical systems.
Proper orientation captures maximum solar heat in winter and provides shade in summer. High-performance insulation keeps that gain inside.
Natural ventilation cools the space with cross air flow while approaching zero energy consumption.
