Hey guys, love all your videos. We here in the Caribbean, do the opposite of the US and Canada, where they need to keep the heat inside. We need to get the heat out of our homes and buildings.
@@Archimarathon Hi... Yes cross ventilation is a great suggestion. But, the air is still hott inland. Only cool at the beaches. I know, I know. Move to the beach....
Use more awnings and sun reflecting measures outside the interiors of the home. Also planting trees in urban areas can help a lot if that is where you are talking! A lot of cities in the world have tree ordinances
Got it. I really appreciate the graphical presentation combined with explanation in words Thanks.❤🙌🏽 Does it apply in all climates, especially the tropical climate?. What do you say about ventilation of tropical designs in relationship with the passive solar gain?. Does the protection from summer sun only achieved by roof eaves or does the change in wall angles play a role?.
In order to achieve this properly, do I need to know the sun angles for my specific geographic location, or is there a "standard" set of rules that can be applied to most builds? I am getting started on designing my house and am very interested in this concept, mainly because of my environment (Canada). Thank you.
Yes you need your sun angle based on your latitude and more importantly, knowing your climatic data so you know when you would ideally want to start bringing in the sun.
Unless you live in a place like northern Norway where there's no sun for months during winter 🥲 I'd still be interested in the design for spring and fall though, as they tend to be pretty cold seasons here.
Simple, and extremely important.
I love this explanation! Simple, well laid out, easy to understand! Legends work fellas
Free and it means you don’t need to rely as much on auxiliary heating which could be sourced from fossil fuel, depending on where you live

Yes. Then it’s all about shade and cross ventilation

You guys are brilliant

Where can we find sun angle data according to longitude and latitude position geographically ?@@Archimarathon

Agreed, it would be fascinating to see what kind of build would be optimal for "northern" homes.
thank you 🙏 i needed to understand this
nice vid
how would you layout this for a house in the tropic of Capricorn where the front of the lot faces the Northwest?
How do you calculate how long your eave should be to get the best passive design?
Depends on climatic data and latitude
Where would I source climatic data and latitude info for Qld Australia, please?
How much solar mass do you need? 4 inches of concrete?
does this decrease the brightness inside of the home?
Solar gain, yes. Brightness depends on many interior finishing colours.
What if I want that solar penetration in the summer??
Calculate the shading angle based on your climatic data
Literally the easiest part or architecture 😂
