Passive solar energy exploited through architectural design and different parts of buildings such as positioning windows to enter solar heat and help thermal space. This research tries to show lack of passive solar energy techniques by researching on a series of buildings and their potential parts on Salamis Road, Famagusta, North Cyprus. Finally, this study illustrates in which ways, these buildings can have thermal comfort space as a main objective.
Index Terms—Renewable energy, thermal comfort, passive solar energy elements, heating and cooling systems.
