Passive Architecture involves amalgamating conventional architectural principles with solar & wind energy and the inherent properties of building materials to ensure that the interiors remain warm in winter and cool in summer, thus creating a year-round comfortable environment. In passive building designs, the passive system is integrated into the building elements and materials. It should be understood that passive architectural design does not necessarily mean the elimination of standard mechanical systems. In recent designs however, passive systems coupled with high efficiency back-up systems greatly reduce the size of the traditional heating or cooling systems and reduce the amount of non-renewable fuels needed to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.
