Passive Cooling System
Passive Cooling System is a design method in green architecture that uses building shape, layout, and materials to keep spaces comfortable without using machines or extra energy. Designers can use things like thick walls, special window placement, or green roofs to help buildings stay cool by blocking sunlight and letting heat escape at night. Some buildings use water features or shaded courtyards to lower temperatures inside. These systems work best when designers think about local weather, sun direction, and how air moves around the building. Using passive cooling can help save energy, lower bills, and make indoor spaces feel better for people.
