Rainwater Harvesting
A Passive Solar Building is an architectural design approach that harnesses and optimizes natural daylighting, solar energy, and thermal mass to create environmentally sustainable, energy-efficient buildings. It involves strategically positioning buildings to capture sunlight, incorporating insulation, glazing, and shading devices, and using materials with high thermal mass for passive heating and cooling. The aim is to minimize mechanical systems dependence while maintaining occupant comfort and well-being. Passive solar design can be applied in various building types, from residential homes to commercial buildings, contributing to green building practices and reducing carbon emissions.
