Passive Systems
Passive systems leverage natural environmental elements to regulate indoor conditions, reducing reliance on mechanical systems. Techniques such as passive solar heating, natural ventilation, and the use of thermal mass help maintain comfortable temperatures without excessive energy use. By designing buildings to harness these natural processes, passive systems contribute to substantial energy savings and lower operational emissions. This approach aligns with sustainable architecture principles, emphasizing harmony between the built environment and nature.
