PASSIVE METHODS
OF HEATING
& COOLING
• Techniques – Orientation,
Planning, Color, Texture,
Vegetation, Water body,
Materials used, Construction
technology
NATURAL PRINCIPLES:
• Black body absorb max solar
radiation
• White & smooth body reflects
light & heat
• Hot air rises up
• Thermal mass like mud, stone
& water absorb & store heat
for long time
• Good conductor of heat –
metal, CGI sheet
• Bad conductor of heat –air,
wood etc
PASSIVE METHODS OF SOLAR
HEATING & COOLING
• Direct gain
• Indirect gain
Direct Gain
• Isolated gain
PASSIVE METHODS OF SOLAR
HEATING & COOLING
Direct gain
• window
• Trombe wall
• Water wall
• Solar chimney
• During summer,
overhang cut off
sunlight
• Induced ventilation
system introduced
• Hot air escape through
exhaust vent
• & cool air enters
through opposite vent
INDIRECT GAIN- TROMBE WALL
INDIRECT GAIN- TROMBE WALL
Greenhouse
Greenhouse
Radiator – mechanical heating device
ISOLATED GAIN –
Solarium
Isolated Gain – Green house
• Special problems -
condensation of water within
the pipes or evaporation of
water & control of system
Passive cooling – EAT system
EAT system
Evaporative cooling
• Heating or cooling by
conduction
• underground buildings
offer both cooling &
heating conditions
