| Abstract: | The paper presents the development and study for energy efficient building design using solar passive techniques. Simple passive features such as optimum orientation, adequate shading of windows, shading of building envelope, roof and wall insulation, reflecting coating on exterior surfaces, application of reflective ceramic tiles over the roof, provision of cross ventilation have been incorporated in building design so as to temper the sun and effecting solar heat gains. Experimental study regarding the energy saving potential of EPF insulation on roof have revealed a decrease of 2-3 °C in indoor air temperature and saving of about 20 per cent electrical energy for air conditioning the space for required thermal comfort level. Windows have been designed following daylighting design criteria with double- glazing. Double-glazed windows not only improve thermal insulation but also curtail the direct solar gain. Two numbers of plans have been developed incorporating the passive features. Solar gadgets such as solar water heaters and photo- voltaic system are also incorporated to make direct use of solar energy to enhance the energy saving. |
