Passive environmental control

Passive environmental control involves designing buildings and spaces to naturally regulate temperature, humidity, and airflow without mechanical systems like air conditioners or heaters. It uses everyday features such as thick walls, windows, insulation, natural ventilation, and strategic shading to maintain comfortable indoor conditions. This approach reduces energy consumption and costs while promoting sustainability. Essentially, it leverages natural elements and thoughtful design to create a comfortable environment efficiently and environmentally friendly.
