A building design approach that addresses the

problem of inducing comfort by means of

equipment that consume energy.

THIS ARE SOME OF THE PRINCIPLES OF

PASSIVE DESIGN EXCEPT.

Represented

as concentric circular dotted lines that run

from the center of the diagram out.

Run around the

edge of the diagram

Start on the eastern side

of the graph and run to the western side and

represent the path of the sun on one particular

day of the year.

Circulation of air or to replace stale

air with fresh air

A city or metropolitan area that is

significantly warmer than its surrounding

rural areas due to human activities.

The ability of building materials

to absorb, store, and release heat.

A system for indirect

solar heat gain. It consists of a dark

colored wall of high thermal mass facing

the sun, with glazing spaced in front to

leave a small air space.

One of the most effective ways to

reduce heat input to a building and can be

installed in the roof, ceiling and walls of the

building

The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating

effect.

In the tropics, it is generally recommended to

have a minimum of R ( ) insulation in naturally

ventilated house ceilings, and a minimum of R

( ) insulation in ceilings and walls of air

conditioned houses

a large open space, often

several stories high and having a glazed

roof and/or large windows.

Abstract thought or speculation resulting in a system

of assumption or principles used in analyzing,

explaining, or predicting phenomena, and proposed or

followed as a basis of action.

The art and science of designing and constructing

buildings.

The conscious use of skill, craft, and creative

imagination in the production of what is beautiful,

appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.

The three-dimensional integration of

program elements and spaces

accommodates the multiple functions

and relationships of a house.

Four exterior wall planes define a

rectangular volume that contains the

program elements and spaces.

It marks a position in space.

An extended line in a direction other than its intrinsic

direction. Conceptually, a plane has length and width,

but no depth.

A phenomenon of light and visual

perception that may be described in

terms of an individual’s perception of

hue, saturation, and tonal value.

Come from adding white to

hues.

The direction of a form relative to the

ground plane, the compass points, other

forms, or to the person viewing the form.

A kind of approach that leads directly to the entrance of a

building along a straight, axial path.
