Abstract The term ‘Passive Design’ here refers to design strategies, technologies and solutions that effectively take advantage of the environmental conditions outside the building to maximise the energy and cost savings while ensuring the core building facilities and provisions (such as indoor comfort, safety, health, etc.) are not compromised. The building orientation, massing and building envelope technologies discussed here can achieve significant operational energy savings and avoid the need for excessive artificial lighting, cooling or heating.
