Passive
Solar Architecture
|
Passive
solar architecture is basically architecture, which
minimizes – not negates – the impact of climate both
in summer and winter. The technique can be applied to
all building types, not just homes. Normally it will
be used in conjunction with conventional systems to
achieve comfort and energy efficiency.
Shade
sails, appropriately designed to match the architectural
space, can allow passive solar heating during Winter,
whilst providing protection from the harsh summer sun
during the Summer months. |

| The
Earth travels in an almost circular orbit around the sun. It
is rotating about its own axis (N,S) at the rate of one revolution
per day, and it is moving at the same time in the closed path
in a year. Its axis is tilted to the plane of its orbit by 23
degrees |
