Passive solar design
Sustainable Design Meeting (2011)

Abstract
Passive solar architecture can provide heating, cooling, ventilation and daylighting by using the sun and microclimate resources. Building energy consumption can be cut 80-90% at no increase in building cost by using integrated design principles. These principles have been understood and used for thousands of years -- but too often neglected in recent times.
