Abstract

Passive buildings are capable of achieving the lowest energy requirements by optimizing heat losses and gains through the building envelope. Therefore, the thermal comfort in winter and summer can be maintained mostly without requiring the energy inputs and during the peak temperature periods with only minimum amounts of energy inputs. Application of passive strategies in building sector can be a promising measure to enhance the building energy efficiency. This paper is aimed at reviewing studies utilized passive strategies to optimize building energy utilization. The findings demonstrate that, usage of passive strategies in the building sector enhances sustainability measures predominantly through mitigating building’s negative environmental impacts besides optimizing its energy performance.
