OBJECTIVE-

1. To study the planning difference between passive solar architecture and active solar
architecture.
2. Analyzing the Structure load carried by building block in active and passive solar architecture.
3. To understand whether active solar architecture is economical or passive solar architecture.
4. To study Environmental issues.

Chapter-1
Passive solar architecture

 Building orientation
 Thermal mass
 Daylight strategies
 Fenestration
 skylight
 Wall system- cavity wall, trombe wall, hollow brick wall
 Cooling system- geothermal cooling system, green wall, Downdraught Evaporative Cooling
Active solar architecture

 Automatic shading
 Daylight harvesting
 HVAC systems
