“…Such devices are used for decentralized generation and supply of energy from renewables, or for conversion of resources at higher overall efficiencies [4]. The term passive on the other hand refers to buildings where the design of construction and shape of the building itself, as opposed to its servicing, play major roles in capturing, storing and distributing wind and solar energy, normally with the aim of displacing fossil fuels for space conditioning and lighting [5][6][7].…”

“…Besides the traditional building materials, there are also advanced technologies for the building envelope such as advanced wall systems (passive solar walls, lightweight concrete walls, ventilated or double skin walls, walls with latent heat storage), advanced glazing (aerogel glazing, vacuum glazing, switchable reflective glazing, suspended particle devices film, holographic optical elements) and roof systems (ventilated and micro-ventilated roofs, solar reflective/cool roofs, green roofs, photovoltaic roofs) [15]. The traditional thermal insulation materials are vulnerable to humidity and perforations.…”

“…Different means of reducing overall building energy consumption also have been explored by several researchers [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Yang and Li [13] performed a quantitative analysis to reduce cooling load using thermal mass and night ventilation using the building time constant information.…”
