In the design phases, several passive strategies are typically considered based on climate analysis, building type, etc. I'm looking for specific examples in which such passive strategies identified are incorporated into the design, where their effects are quantified and/or optimized using simulation tools or otherwise.
Take a look at publications from ASHRAE for USA or CIBSE for Europe, by joining the institutions you will also have access to many modelling softwares. PASSIVHAUS also has a sotware resource that Architects like to use.
Dear Ramana,
you can have a look at my paper:
F. Asdrubali, F. Cotana, A. Messineo: “On the Evaluation of Solar Greenhouse Efficiency in Building Simulation during the Heating Period”, Energies, 2012, 5, 1864-1880
which is also present here in Research Gate
I used DIAL+ simulation tool to show the effects of various passive measures in East Africa and mediterranean climate (page 8 ff of the attached paper).
