Abstract :

The use of passive architectural features for building design in Indias tropical environment is the main topic of this study paper. The paper offers a thorough assessment of the literature on the various passive design techniques that can be used to enhance indoor thermal comfort in tropical buildings. The study looks at the difficulties brought on by the hot, humid, and sunny environment of India, as well as the efficiency of passive architectural features in reducing these difficulties. The study also looks into the many design approaches applied to the placement of these components, such as the selection of the right materials, positioning, and orientation of apertures to encourage natural ventilation and the use of materials with a high thermal mass to lessen temperature variations. The study emphasises the advantages of including passive architectural features in building design, such as enhanced thermal comfort indoors, decreased energy use, and lower carbon footprint. The study makes suggestions for architects and designers regarding the best design approaches for passive building components in various tropical climates in India. The results of this study can help with energy-efficient and sustainable building design in India, enhancing indoor comfort while reducing environmental effect.
