"Sustainability" is a buzzword in our profession, and with the tag of being called "the need of the hour," it surely garners a lot of attention and appreciation in today’s world. For all beginners - architects or designers, "Sustainability" can be a rather intimidating term, as, of course, with great power comes great responsibility. And this responsibility entails doing good for our planet!
But becoming a sustainability expert might not be as difficult as you think! A primary cause of global warming and greenhouse gases is the electricity production from non-renewable resources, and hence we must reduce our dependence on them. Passive design strategies help us maintain thermal comfort inside a building without the use of electricity, as heating and cooling require the most.
So let us help you out in clarifying all the basics, learning the principles of sustainability, and exploring passive design techniques that are revolutionizing the world.
