Abstract

Electricity consumption is increasing day by day; as per the world energy outlook 2011, this demand will increase by 53% from 2008 to 2035. As per the electric holding company, 52% of the energy is utilized alone in heating ventilation and air conditioning in domestic buildings. This increasing demand has to be cut short. Expanding utilization of energy has prompted natural contamination bringing about a worldwide temperature alteration and ozone layer depletion. Solar passive techniques employed will help to meet the energy demands of the building. These techniques in the building incorporate the natural process for heating or cooling to achieve balanced indoor condition. The solar passive technique can reduce the energy load in the building by 50–70%. Incorporation of these strategies would absolutely lessen our reliance on artificial means for thermal solace and limit the ecological issues because of excessive utilization of energy and other natural resources and subsequently will evolve build form, which will be more natural responsive, more sustainable, and more natural cordial of tomorrow.
