Abstract

Passive solar technologies are means of using sunlight for useful energy without use of active mechanical systems, as contrasted to active solar techniques. The scientific basis for passive solar building design has been developed from a combination of climatology, thermodynamics, particularly heat transfer, and human thermal comfort. Specific attention is directed to the site and location of the dwelling, the prevailing climate, design and construction, solar orientation, placement of glazing-and-shading elements, and incorporation of thermal mass. More than 90% reduction in lighting consumption, and more than 50% saving in overall energy consumption has been achieved in this complex, which thus provides a clean and pollution free work environment. Climate of Mumbai is warm and humid the temperature ranges between 30? to 35? and 25? to 30? in summer and winter respectively and humidity is about 60%. This paper studies the passive techniques that can be adopted for the warm and humid cliate of Mumbai.
