Passive design is an approach to environmental design in which emphasis is given to the building envelope and other parts of the building fabric in modifying the climate; making use of ambient energy to get as close to comfort as possible without use of mechanical building services.  This approach recognises that the form and fabric of a building have an effect on the environment experienced inside that building and aims to make it acceptable for as long a period in the year as possible.  This module considers the principles of passive design as revealed by a number of basic strategies for lighting, heating and cooling buildings.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
