  7. Passive solar building design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_solar_building_design

    In passive solar building design, windows, walls, and floors are made to collect, store, reflect, and distribute solar energy, in the form of heat in the winter and reject solar heat in the summer. This is called passive solar design because, unlike active solar heating systems, it does not involve the use of mechanical and electrical devices.
