A brief overview of the main ones passive climate control tools that architects and engineers have at their disposal to reduce thermal loads.
All of these considerations are part of the range of tools available to an architect or design engineer in order to passively optimize a building’s day-to-day operation and, consequently, enhance the experience for its occupants. Clearly, the more expertise one has regarding the thermodynamic operation of each of these tools, the greater the impact that can be achieved in reducing a building’s thermal load; consequently, the result will be a more efficient and sustainable building.
To address these considerations and many other topics related to sustainable construction and architecture, Structuralia has created the Master's Program in Energy Efficiency and Sustainability in Building Construction, which features expert professionals in the field.
