Passive Solar Heating

EasyChair Preprint 7550

Abstract

Passive solar technologies are means of using sunlight for useful energy without use of active mechanical systems, as contrasted to active solar techniques. Increase in indoor temperature and air humidity of a building, leads to discomfort and cause health problems. Nowadays, air conditioning systems are widely used to control the temperature and moisture content of the indoor air, which increases the energy consumption. Passive techniques are key remedies to improve comfort hours without any usage of mechanical methods. Passive cooling techniques can reduce the heat load over the building envelope reduce the size of air conditioning system and the period for which it is generally required.

Keyphrases: Architecture, Solar Building, estimation, software
