PASSIVE SUSTAINABLE DESIGN.
MEANING OF PASSIVE:

• Accepting or allowing what happens or what others do, without active response or
resistance.
• Acted upon by an external agency
• Used to describe something that allows to happen, or accepts what happens, or
decides without trying to change anything.

PASSIVE DESIGN:

Passive design is design that does not require mechanical heating or cooling or
ventilation.
PASSIVE SUSTAINABLE DESIGN.

ROLE OF PASSIVE IN ARCHITECTURE:

Passive architecture regards the particular way to


construct a building using the natural movement of
heat and air, passive solar gain, and cooling to
maintain good internal comfort. Without using any
outside energy or requiring much special
equipment, by takes advantage of existing natural
phenomena, like the direction of the sun or the
insulating properties of building materials.

Passive solutions it is possible to eliminate, or at


least reduce, the use of mechanical systems and
the energy demand by 80% as well as the CO2
emissions.

PASSIVE APPLICATIONS OR STRATEGIES - Orientation and Layout


•Building Orientation:

Positioning buildings to maximize natural


daylight and solar gain in winter while
minimizing overheating in summer.

•Room Layout:

Placing frequently used rooms, like living


areas, on the south side to take advantage of
natural light and heat.
PASSIVE SUSTAINABLE DESIGN.

PASSIVE APPLICATIONS OR
STRATEGIES - Thermal Mass
• Building Form Implications:

The advantages and disadvantages of the


main massing schemes..

The ideal building form is greatly influenced


by the local climate.
PASSIVE SUSTAINABLE DESIGN.

PASSIVE APPLICATIONS OR
STRATEGIES - Thermal Mass

• Material Use:

Using materials with high thermal


mass, such as concrete, brick, or
stone, to absorb, store, and
release heat, moderating indoor
temperatures.
PASSIVE SUSTAINABLE DESIGN.

PASSIVE APPLICATIONS OR STRATEGIES - Insulation and Airtightness

•Insulation:
Installing high levels of insulation
in walls, roofs, and floors to
minimize heat loss.

•Airtight Construction:
Ensuring buildings are airtight to
prevent unwanted air infiltration
and heat loss.
PASSIVE SUSTAINABLE DESIGN.

PASSIVE APPLICATIONS OR STRATEGIES - Natural Ventilation

•Cross Ventilation:
Designing windows and openings
to allow for cross ventilation, which
helps cool the building naturally.

•Stack Ventilation:
Utilizing the natural tendency of
warm air to rise, creating vertical
airflow and cooling the building.
PASSIVE SUSTAINABLE DESIGN.

PASSIVE APPLICATIONS OR STRATEGIES - Natural Ventilation


PASSIVE SUSTAINABLE DESIGN.

PASSIVE APPLICATIONS OR STRATEGIES - Daylighting

•Window Placement:

Strategically placing windows to


maximize natural light and reduce
the need for artificial lighting.

•Light Shelves and Reflectors:

Using devices to reflect and diffuse


natural light deeper into the
building.
PASSIVE SUSTAINABLE DESIGN.

PASSIVE APPLICATIONS OR STRATEGIES - Solar Gain Control

•Shading Devices:
Installing overhangs, louvers, or
vegetation to block excessive
summer sun while allowing winter
sun to enter.

•Glazing:
Using high performance windows
with low-emissivity coatings to
reduce heat gain and loss.
PASSIVE SUSTAINABLE DESIGN.

PASSIVE APPLICATIONS OR STRATEGIES - Green Roofs and Walls

•Green Roofs:

Installing vegetation on roofs to provide insulation, reduce heat island effect, and manage stormwater.

•Green Walls:

Using vertical gardens


to insulate buildings,
improve air quality,
and enhance
aesthetics
PASSIVE SUSTAINABLE DESIGN.

PASSIVE APPLICATIONS OR STRATEGIES - Water Management

•Rainwater Harvesting:

Collecting and using rainwater for


irrigation and non-potable uses.

•Permeable Surfaces:

Using permeable paving and


landscaping to allow water infiltration
and reduce runoff.
PASSIVE SUSTAINABLE DESIGN.

PASSIVE APPLICATIONS OR STRATEGIES - Passive Solar Heating and


Cooling

•Solar Collectors:

Using passive solar collectors to preheat air or water for space heating.
PASSIVE SUSTAINABLE DESIGN.

PASSIVE APPLICATIONS OR STRATEGIES - Passive Solar Heating and


Cooling
•Cool Roofs:

Applying reflective materials to roofs to reduce heat absorption and


cooling loads.
PASSIVE SUSTAINABLE DESIGN.

PASSIVE APPLICATIONS OR STRATEGIES - Landscaping

•Deciduous Trees:

Planting deciduous trees to


provide shade in summer and
allow sunlight in winter.

•Windbreaks:

Using trees and shrubs to block


unwanted winds for heating or
cooling.
