| Abstract: | Energy consumed in controlling environment in respect of temperature, air movement, humidity and hygienic condition inside buildings contributes a significant proportion towards the total energy consumed in the building sector. An increasing demand of electricity during the summer period due to extensive use of air-conditioning systems has necessitated evolution and incorporation of various passive techniques in design of buildings which can save a considerable part of conventional energy consumed in buildings for cooling and lighting. The three main aspects involved in the development of a passive system are (i) determination of the design climatic parameters at the building site (ii) knowledge of the desired environmental conditions indoors and (iii) application of basic principles of heat transfer in the evolution of appropriate passive system which on incorporation in the design of buildings may lead to the desired thermal environment indoors. Various investigations carried out at CSIR-CBRI covering these aspects to make residential buildings energy efficient have been reviewed. It is observed that passive cooling techniques have not yet reached the stage of established practice and constant efforts are being made world over to make advancement in the existing knowledge in this field. |
