The facts for life

Article Abstract:

The purpose of passive solar design (PSD) in buildings is to limit the use of high energy heating and air conditioning by making the best use of natural light, airflow and heat. There are some problems with PSD buildings as it is not possible to control the natural conditions. It is advisable to have some form of back-up system. Key factors when designing a PSD building are its position on a site, the nearness of other buildings and if it is sheltered from the wind. Large areas of glazed windows for solar gain and good roof insulation to retain heat are also necessary.
