| Content Summary | A building’s energy consumption is a major source of greenhouse gas emission and one of the main causes of climatic change. Passive solar architecture relies on the use of techniques for solar and heat control, heat amortization, and heat dissipation. Solar and heat protection or exploitation techniques may involve thermal improvement by the use of outdoor and semi-outdoor spaces, layout and external finishing, solar control and shading of building surfaces, thermal insulation, control of internal gains, and so on. The aim of this chapter is to present an overview of solar architecture starting from its history and provide a short description of the solar architecture basics, followed by an account of the state-of-the-art developments regarding the building fabric, cool materials, and intelligent control techniques. The future research trends are revealed and discussed here. | en |
