Passive Comfort Lab | Jahnvi Mehta

The main objective of the Passive comfort lab was to study and understand the basics of building physics, passive design strategies, and energy transfer through the building envelope and its effect on the thermal comfort of the occupant. Software like Climate Consultant, D-view, and energy modeling software like Design Builder and Energy Plus were explored to analyze the building envelope and different parameters impacting total sensible cooling load of building.
