The Case for Passive Solar Buildings
A particular case of solar tubes are the sun-tunnel skylights. They can be available as rigid or flexible products, the latter being less expensive but also with a lower performance in use, due to the fact that the light flux flows into the tube and directly into the room, while in the case of flexible items, the light reflects less. The advantage of the flexible sun …

Optimizing Building Envelope Dimensions for Passive Solar
It has been a focus to reduce the energy consumption and improve the space heating performance of high-altitude buildings in winter seasons. In view of the abundant solar energy resources of the high-altitude region, the establishment of passive solar houses should be an effective strategy to deal with the problem of thermal comfort. Both window to wall ratio (WWR) …

In passive solar building design, windows, walls, and floors are made to collect, store, reflect, and distribute solar energy, in the form of heat in the winter and reject solar heat in the summer. This is called passive solar design because, unlike active solar heating systems, it does not involve the use of mechanical and electrical devices.
