This diagram shows how passive ventilation can be utilized differently depending on the season. when it's winter the warm air is trapped to provide insulation & in the summer the warm air is flushed. cool air is constantly flowing through. I think it is successful because of how the air movement ribbons are a gradient to accurately show warm + cool air. Having the summer & winter conditions next to each other is a successful use of showing the passive design during different times of the…

We have been looking at the basics of passive design to help us understand some of the things we could incorporate in creating a building that would cost less to heat and cool. First, let’s t…

Solaripedia is a database of green architecture and green building resources using solar, wind and passive strategies to create sustainable built environments. This page provides green case studies and project examples.

In the evening cool northerly winds come down the forested slope and wash across the building.

Passive cooling systems are a type of building design that uses natural processes to cool a building without the use of mechanical systems.
