Fundamentals of Passive Solar Design

Are you looking to level up your architectural design. Would you like to optimize your building's performance and discover how to create spaces that feel more comfortable and warm. Whether you're a professional or a design enthusiast, this course is ideal for anyone who's into sustainable architectural design and wants to profoundly understand how to exploit solar design.

Solar radiation is the biggest renewable energy source on Earth and passive solar design shows us how to take full advantage of it without complicated installations, no hardware and barely no additional cost at all. During this course:The different approaches to passive solar design and the indispensable elements needed to build one. How heat is transferred and stored in passive solar systems.

The thermodynamics basics behind passive solar design, such as how we benefit from the greenhouse effect. We'll go through the different passive solar systems and how to adequately implement each one of them. Orientation, shape and space distribution tips to boost solar performance.

We'll go over some case studies that evidence the energetic and thermal impact successful solar design can have. Can't wait to walk you through the everything there is to know about the fundamentals of passive solar design. See you soon.
