Passive House
The heating system of the future, without traditional heating system. Can a house be constructed without a conventional heating system and still achieve a good comfort level in summer as well as in winter? Yes it can. Nothing magical: the right design, the right materials, and a ventilation system with heat exchanger can be enough. The following minute lecture by way of introduction to this innovative construction standard.
Solar
Passive solar systems utilize natural means like building materials and design to collect, store, and distribute solar energy for heating and cooling. They include direct gain systems using windows to let sunlight in for floor/wall storage, thermal storage walls behind south-facing glazing, attached sunspaces with storage walls, and thermal storage roofs with water bags or ponds that absorb heat from the sun. Passive systems provide heating and cooling without mechanical equipment by integrating solar design into the building structure and envelope.
Solar passive design techniques
Passive building design aims to minimize energy usage and environmental impact through strategies like passive solar heating, cooling, and daylighting. It focuses on using climate considerations, building orientation, materials, and occupant behavior to control indoor comfort without consuming fuels. Passive heating maximizes solar heat gain in winter through techniques like direct gain and thermal storage, while passive cooling prevents overheating and uses ventilation to remove unwanted heat. Daylighting brings natural light into buildings through indirect lighting and considers factors like glare and reflectivity. Passive design requires an integrated, tiered approach and educated occupants to operate effectively with minimal mechanical systems.
