Passive design

Passive design refers to architectural strategies that naturally regulate a building’s temperature and comfort without relying heavily on mechanical systems like heating and cooling. It uses features such as building orientation, insulation, natural ventilation, and positioning of windows and shading to maximize sunlight in winter and minimize heat gain in summer. By thoughtfully designing these elements, buildings can stay comfortable naturally, reduce energy consumption, and lower environmental impact. Essentially, passive design leverages natural environmental conditions to create a sustainable, energy-efficient indoor environment.
