The study aims to identify the optimum and suitable passive design strategies for designing a building in warm and humid climate of India with the help of a broad literature study in order to bring down the indoor temperatures and reduce the overall energy consumption. The climate study is taken into consideration to find out the physiological objectives on which the techniques can be optimized. It is found that the major discomfort is caused by humidity which can be catered by strategies that enhance natural ventilation. Also, there are strategies that help cut off the solar radiation and glare like deep eaves and verandas. Courtyards have been proven to induce ventilation into the buildings thereby reducing the indoor temperature if surrounded by verandas. Similarly other passive strategies which are important in this climate are orientation, lightweight walls which do not store thermal mass, roof insulation, plan form, shading devices and materials etc.

Passive strategies, humidity, natural ventilation, courtyards, roof insulation.
