“…Several researchers have studied passive design strategies, which are summarized in design criteria, such as building orientation that stretches east-west (Beccali et al, 2018;Prasetyo, 2016;Sardjono, 2011), wind direction (Manzano-Agugliaro et al, 2015;Nguyen et al, 2011), slim building massing and the presence of a veranda (Nguyen et al, 2011;Nugroho, 2012), roof with a large slope, lightweight materials, roof openings, wide eaves (Beccali et al, 2018;Hildegardis et al, 2019;Nguyen et al, 2011;Victoria et al, 2017), thin walls made of lightweight materials (Hildegardis et al, 2019;Manzano-Agugliaro et al, 2015), porous walls (Nugroho, 2012;Prasetyo et al, 2017), proper placement and size of openings (Beccali et al, 2018;Victoria et al, 2017), platform floor with a certain height and floor gap (Prasetyo et al, 2017;Sardjono, 2011;Victoria et al, 2017), landscaping with shade plants and placement on the west side (Nugroho, 2018;Prasetyo, 2016). These criteria are increasingly complete with the latest research on passive design in contemporary buildings in the tropics.…”
