    Passive heating refers to technologies that heat buildings without energy consumption by integrating principles of physics into building design. It involves collecting sunlight through apertures, absorbing the sunlight with darkened surfaces, and storing the heat in thermal mass materials. Elements like roof overhangs and shading are used to control heat gain and prevent overheating during warm months.

    Passive heating :

    -refers to technologies or design features used


    to heat buildings without power
    consumption.
    -building design attempts to integrate the
    principles of physics into building exterior
    envelope to:
    *speed up heat transfer into a building
    Aperture- the large glass area, usually a window, through
    which sunlight enters the building. Typically, the aperture
    faces within 30 degrees of true south and should avoid being
    shaded by other buildings or trees between 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
    each day during the heating session
    Absorber- a hard, darkened surface of the storage
    element, is the second element of the design. The surface
    sits in the direct path of the sunlight, which hits the surface
    and is absorbed as heat
    Thermal mass-the materials that retain or store the heat
    produced by the sunlight. Unlike the absorber, which is in the
    direct path of the sunlight, the thermal mass is the material
    below or behind the absorber’s surface
    Distribution- the method by which solar heat
    circulates from the collection and storage
    points to the different areas of the house
    Control- During the summer months, roof
    overhangs are used to shad the aperture.
    Other elements can be used to control the
    under- and/or overheating include electronic
    sensing devices, operable vents and dampers,
    low-emissivity blinds, and awnings.
    Direct Solar
    Gain Direct gain is the heat from
    the sun being collected and
    contained in an occupied
    space. Direct solar gain is
    important for any site that
    needs heating, because it is
    the simplest and least costly
    way of passively heating a
    building with the
    sun.

    Avoiding direct solar gain


    is also important in hot
    Massing and orientation are
    important design factors to
    consider for passive
    heating. Consider these
    factors early in the design
    so that the surface areas
    exposed to sun at different
    times of day, building
    dimensions, and building
    orientation can all be
    optimized for passive
    comfort.
    Thermal mass is a
    material's resistance to
    change in
    temperature. Objects
    with high thermal
    mass absorb and
    retain
    heat. Thermal mass
    is crucial to good
    passive solar heating
    design, especially in
    locations that have
    large swings of
    temperature from day
    to night.
    A Trombe wall is a
    system for indirect solar
    heat gain that is a good
    example of thermal mass,
    solar gain, and glazing
    properties used together
    to achieve human
    comfort goals
    passively. It consists of
    a dark colored wall of
    high thermal mass facing
    the sun, with glazing
    spaced in front to leave a
    small air space.
    Windows and other
    apertures bring in heat
    from sunshine, but
    can also lose heat by
    radiant cooling and by
    conducting heat better
    than most wall or roof
    constructions.
    Apertur es and
    shading must be
    intelligently placed to
    take advantage of the
    sun's heat in cold
    locations and seasons,
    Shades can keep
    the heat and
    glare of direct
    sun from coming
    through
    windows. They
    can also keep
    direct sunlight
    off of walls or
    roofs, to reduce
    cooling loads.
