Passive Cooling Strategies for Improving Thermal Performance of Residential Buildings in Naya Raipur, Chhattisgarh

Shanta Dash, Mahendra Joshi

Abstract


The energy consumption in India is rising faster in residential buildings, primarily due to the usage of air conditioning systems in summers to provide comfort conditions to the occupants. Passive cooling techniques offer the best solutions without using mechanical or electrical components to lower the electricity bills. The climate of Naya Raipur is composite, and the temperature ranges from 45 to 49 degrees in summer to 25 to as low as 0 degrees in winter. So the best design solution for this region will be passive solar architecture and must be incorporated in the design and construction of buildings.
