Passive heating and cooling techniques manage the internal temperature and air quality of a building without using power.

The process focuses on the sun’s orientation to utilize sun exposure and capture heat in the winter while keeping it out in the summer.

Also referred to as passive solar, these technologies convert sunlight into usable heat, and cause air movement for ventilating, to heat and cool living spaces without active mechanical or electrical devices.
