The document discusses passive cooling and natural lighting strategies to minimize energy consumption in a warehouse in Sekeping Serendah, Selangor, Malaysia. It identifies factors that affect energy usage, including user habits and appliances. It then describes passive design features of the warehouse, including sun shading from surrounding plants and large roofs, cross ventilation and an open layout for natural ventilation, thermal mass from concrete and bricks, and a skylight to provide natural lighting. These passive strategies reduce the need for active cooling and mechanical lighting, lowering electrical usage and energy consumption.
