Abstract
The main aim of the research is to passively use the on-site energy to create passive climate comfort. Usually this these passive strategies are not integrated into the design process but added to the building design later on when the building design is already finalized. The main topic of this building technology research is to integrate sustainability concepts into the decisions making process of the building design. Out of all passive ways to us on-site energy, wind and daylight are chosen as the sub topics for this research in order to improve the architectural design. The envelope of the building filters/uses the wind and daylight energy to climatise the building in a passive way. The wind research will transform the building envelope on a large scale while the daylight research will transform the building envelope on a small/component scale. Both of them will work together in improving the architectural design and the energy performance of the building.
