Passive solar

Passive solar design is a way of heating and cooling buildings naturally, without active mechanical systems. It involves positioning and constructing a building to take advantage of the sun’s energy—such as large south-facing windows for winter warmth, thick walls that store heat, and shading elements to prevent overheating in summer. This approach reduces energy costs and environmental impact by using sunlight for warmth and comfort, relying on thoughtful design features rather than solar panels or active systems. It’s a sustainable, efficient method that works with the natural movement of the sun to optimize indoor conditions year-round.
