PASSIVE GREEN BUILDING CASE STUDIES
Introduction
The basic approach towards good passive design is to orientate, shade, insulate, ventilate, and daylight. The architectural passive design consideration in designing a building is primarily influenced by its responsiveness to its site context. The important factors that should be considered include site planning and orientation, daylighting, facade design, natural ventilation, thermal insulation, and strategic landscaping
Project Task & Overview
In a group of 5, students are required to conduct two case studies on two buildings, one building located in a tropical climate and the other located in a mediterranean climate. Whereby, students have to Identify and compare the passive design strategies applied in both case studies, and analyse and elaborate the impact of these passive strategies on the quality and spatial experience.

Reflection
Working on this assignment had taught me how both buildings from different climats used different methods of passive design startegies that were appropriate for that site context. After analysing and identifying the passive strategies, we learned how to describe passive sustainable design, its green technologies and its applicable design strategies, in response to the site context and building.
