Passive Heat Barriers

Passive Heat Barriers explores the often-overlooked potential of passive design in reducing building energy consumption through optimized wall construction and shading techniques. The book highlights how strategic use of building materials and shading can minimize heat transfer, lessening the reliance on energy-intensive heating and cooling systems. A key insight is that effective shading isn't merely aesthetic; it's a scientifically-backed method to control solar heat gain. The book provides a working knowledge of building science principles, emphasizing the importance of early integration of passive design elements, such as natural ventilation and daylighting, for maximum impact. Presenting detailed analysis of real-world case studies, primarily from Passive House projects, the book demonstrates the effectiveness of these strategies across diverse climates and building types. The book progresses from introducing fundamental passive design concepts to delving into wall construction specifics, shading techniques, and their integrated application for optimal energy performance.
