The Passive Comfort Lab portfolio highlights the integration of theoretical and practical building physics principles to optimize building envelopes. Core concepts like heat transfer, solar geometry, load calculations, moisture transfer, and climate analysis were explored in depth. A hands-on approach involved fabricating hot and cold zones within enclosures to study material thermal properties and implement passive climate-responsive techniques. Advanced simulations using Design Builder and Energy Plus enabled detailed thermal load analysis for office buildings, bridging the gap between theory and real-world application. This portfolio underscores the lab’s commitment to sustainable design through innovative, energy-efficient solutions rooted in building physics.
