Customer ServiceOne of the main advantages of passive solar energy is that it makes the absolute most out of the solar energy that is present, using it up until there is no more. It also doesn''t require any extra work. Once a building is designed to utilize passive solar energy, it will do so as long as it stands and the sun is shining. This helps to reduce—or even eliminate—heating and cooling costs

Customer ServiceWhen considering solar energy basics, understanding the various systems used to harness energy from the sun is essential.. Solar energy can be captured through passive, active, and photovoltaic systems. Passive solar systems rely on strategic building design to regulate heat without the need for mechanical components.
Customer ServiceIn conclusion, a wide range of parameters affects the selection of the proper passive solar design solution, with climate and building related performance indicators. Resuming the main elements: the common classification can be considered outdated for a practical approach.
The net performance of a passive solar solution is related to the balance of heat gains and losses thus proportional to the incident solar radiation on the solar collector.
The effectiveness of passive solar solutions depends on a wide variety of design parameters . Like all solar based devices, the performance is mainly related to the latitude, as it influences the average weather conditions and solar radiation on the collector surface.
Despite the simplifications introduced, the predictions of the Passive Solar Heating Project Model prove adequate at the pre-feasibility stage. This is particularly true given the fact that RETScreen only requires 12 points of data versus 8,760 points of data for most hourly models.
A system is designed if, considering its lifespan, the saving from energy consumption exceeds the construction cost. This analysis is strictly country dependent. In this perspective, the construction of passive solar systems strictly depends on the opportunity to exploit possible local tax benefits.
