Thermal balance
Internal Thermal Balance
M = methabolism
E = evaporative thermal losses
R = radiation thermal losses
C = convection thermal losses
S = energy stored in the body
M = E + R + C + S
At 26C and 45% of relative humidity:
M = 110 W S = 0 W E = 40 W R+C = 70 W

What is passive design
is based upon climate considerations
attempts to control comfort (heating and cooling) without consuming fuels
uses the orientation of the building to control heat gain and heat loss
uses the shape of the building (plan, section) to control air flow
uses materials to control heat
maximizes use of free solar energy for heating and lighting
maximizes use of free ventilation for cooling
uses shade (natural or architectural) to control heat gain

General Rules
1. Conservation Levels: Higher than normal levels of insulation and
airtightness
2. Distribution of Solar Glazing: distributed throughout the building
proportional to the heat loss of each zone
3. Orientation: Optimum within 5 degrees of true south
4. Glazing Tilt: Looking for perpendicular to sun angle in winter, although
vertical efficient where lots of reflective snow cover
5. Number of glazing layers: 3 to 4 for severe climates, less otherwise
6. Night insulation and Low-E glazing: Greatly improves reduction of night
heat losses
7. Mixing passive systems can increase comfort levels.

3 Thermal storage mass: general rules
8. Mass Distribution: spread it around evenly; 6 times glazing area (3Xminimum)
9. Mass Thickness: thin and spread out better than thick. More than 4 for
masonry or concrete not useful
10. Colour: Floors dark to absorb more heat, walls and ceilings lighter to
reflect light.
11. Surface Covering: insulative coverings greatly decrease performance of
thermal mass
12. Concrete Block Masonry: If used, a high density with cores filled with
grout

Thermal storage mass: general rules
13. Floor Materials: Concrete or brick preferred. If insulating under, at least 4
thick (100mm). More than 6 (150mm) not useful.
14. Limits on Direct Gain Glazing Area: South facing glazing limited to prevent
large temperature swings. 7% of floor area for low mass buildings, 13% of floor
area for high mass buildings.
15. Glazing orientation: Vertical facing due south preferred. Vertical easiest to
build, and easiest to shade in summer. Performance penalty for 15degrees offdue south is 10% and for 30 degrees is 20% loss; so within 15 degrees
recommended.
16. Night insulation: Really helpful but can be very costly.
17. Thermal Insulation: Insulation located OUTSIDE the thermal mass.

Thermal storage mass
Thermal Storage Wall -- a passive solar heating system consisting of a
south facing wall constructed of heavy masonry (Trombe Wall) or water
filled containers (water wall). The outside south facing surface is glazed to
admit sunlight and reduce heat losses

5 Indirect gain sunspace
Sunspace -- a passive solar heating system type consisting of a glassed-in
room like a greenhouse, atrium or conservatory, located on the south side fo a
building and separated from other building spaces by a common wall.
