Passive Solar, Natural Ventilation and Daylighting of Buildings
The possibilities of passive strategies to reduce energy consumption while at the same increasing comfort levels are important considerations for architects and building designers. This chapter is subdivided into the three main aspects that can be leveraged passively (i.e. depending solely on the form and materiality of the building): passive solar use, natural ventilation, and daylighting. Not only is the theoretical foundation introduced, detailed calculation examples are provided as well to examine the effects of design decisions.
