Generally, buildings that are passively designed will take advantage of the natural climate to maintain thermal comfort. By incorporating passive design approaches into buildings, it may offer comfort, energy efficient, reduces greenhouse emissions from heating, cooling, mechanical ventilation, and lighting, and can save money.

​

In a group of SIX (6) students need to formulate ideas on how to maximize daylight and thermal comfort for their chosen modern house which can be either a double-story corner lot or a double-storey semi-detached house. Upon formulating ideas, fieldwork needs to be conducted for this case study will include data collection and observation of the chosen house. The ideas on improving the current condition of daylight distribution and thermal comfort will be based on passive design approaches.
