PASSIVE SOLAR ARCHITECTURE
INTRODUCTIONEXAMPLES: IMPORTANCE & USEFULNESSPASSIVE FEATURESSUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
Introduction
PSA : an ancient conceptModern science has provided quantitative supportLarge potential for energy conservationCan lead to a thermally comfortable indoor environment
Introduction
DEFINITIONCollection, storage, distribution and control of energy flow by natural processes of heat and mass transfer
WORKING DEFINITIONUse natural energy (sun, wind, etc.) to conserve conventional energy for achieving thermal comfortThermal comfort refers to comfortable indoor conditions (temperature, humidity, air movement)

PASSIVE DOWNDRAFT EVAPORATIVE COOLING SYSTEM
A system of inlet and outlet shafts
Locations, sizes and heights : generate required air movement
A fine spray of water cools the air at entry
6-9 air change rates per hour observed
Strategy:Hot season: evaporative
coolingMonsoon: cooling off, induce
ventilation by fansWinter:ventilation minimised

DAYLIGHTING
Vision is by far the most developed of all our senses; Light has been the main pre-requisite for sensing thingsDaylight: coolest and efficient source of light
Cfl less efficient by about 20% to 40%Heating effect of daylighting is about 1 w per lumen; It is much less than that of artificial lighting
Various components for admitting daylightingshown in next few slides

ATRIUM
SIMPLE TECHNIQUEScan be easily incorporated in the building without much additional cost. refer to design considerations involving :
• site conditions : • landform• vegetation•waterbodies• street width and orientation•open spaces and built form
•building orientation•planform
SIMPLE TECHNIQUESbuilding envelope⌧roof type: rcc, rcc with insulation, etc.⌧wall type: brick, stone, accb⌧external colour and texture:
smooth and light colour: reflects morerough textured surface: self-shading
larger surface area for re-radiationwhite or lighter shades: higher emissivity
⌧fenestration (openings)
NEW CHALLENGES
MaterialsTransparent insulationAdvanced glazings
NEW CHALLENGES
SystemsBuildings integrated with photovoltaic arraysBuildings integrated with solar collectorsBuildings integrated with active systemse.g.⌧Domestic hot water systems⌧Solar cookers
Buildings integratedWith photovoltaic Arrays
SIMULATION
To find out if the design can achieve the expected requirementsResults can be quantified
temperatureloadenergy savings
. Relative comparison of design alternatives
CONCLUSIONS
Introduction to passive solar architectureChallenges facing architects in view of new technologyImportance of simulation studies to integrate design with passive solar architecture
REMARKSNecessary to consider building as a system
Focus on total energy use (not only heating and/or cooling)
Integrate different technologiesEnergy-conservation (insulation, super windows)Passive solarActive solar
Develop whole building concept
REMARKS
Designing new, innovative building: requires multi-disciplinary design team
Energy aspects be considered at the early stageArchitects and engineers work together
Simulation: desirableConstruction practicesUser behaviour
