Abstract

Passive solar systems offer simplicity, greater reliability, lower cost and a longer lifetime. Furthermore, the design of passive-solar systems comprises a part of the architectural design of the house, and thus, becomes an integrated element of the building’s architecture. In choosing a system there are criteria of aesthetic or functional values. Some of the techniques described as passive solar systems for Cyprus can be incorporated in conventional building design and planning without adding considerable cost to the construction. All that is required is intelligent design. Taking into account the advantages and disadvantages of the passive solar systems the best systems that are advised to use in Cyprus are Direct Gain, Thermal Insulation, Thermal Storage, Low emissivity double-glazed, Solar Control (orientation, shading devices), Natural Ventilation (cross ventilation, stack effect, night ventilation and ceiling fans). Systems advised not to use are Trombe Walls and Sun Spaces. The results show that all heating requirements are covered through solar energy, while natural ventilation or ceiling fans cover all the cooling needs.
