“…Cool roof, albeit having a higher U-value (0.53 W/m 2 K) than green roof (0.31 W/m 2 K), has higher energy performance attributed to the significantly higher solar reflectance. However, from a sustainability or aesthetic perspective, a green roof would be preferable [70].…”

The quest for energy efficiency in buildings has placed a demand for designing and modeling energy-efficient buildings. In this study, the thermal energy performance of a tropically adapted passive building was investigated in the warm tropical climate of Malaysia. Two mock-up buildings were built to represent a “green”, made of clay brick double-glazed passive building and a conventional, made of concrete “red” building. The mean indoor temperature of the passive building was found to be always lower than that of the red building throughout the experiment during different weather constellations. Our research builds upon existing work in the field by combining multiple linear regression models and distribution models to provide a comprehensive analysis of the factors affecting the indoor temperature of a building. The results from the fitted multiple linear regression models indicate that walls and windows are critical components that considerably influence the indoor temperature of both passive buildings and red buildings, with the exception of passive buildings during the hot season, where the roof has a greater influence than the window. Furthermore, the goodness-of-fit test results of the mean indoor temperature revealed that the Fréchet and Logistic probability models fitted the experimental data in both cold and hot seasons. It is intended that the findings of this study would help tropical countries to devise comfortable, cost-effective passive buildings that are green and energy efficient to mitigate global warming.

“…By incorporating passive energy design options in air-conditioned residential buildings, Abdul Mujeebu and Bano [69] showed a 34% reduction in the energy performance index could be achieved, compared to a 32% reduction for a green roof. Latent heat storage units can effectively reduce building energy consumption, reduce indoor temperature fluctuations, and improve indoor thermal comfort [6].…”

Energy efficiency in buildings is very important since it contributes significantly to fossil fuel consumption and consequently climate change. Several approaches have been taken by researchers and the industry to address the issue. These approaches are classified as either passive or active approaches. The purpose of this review article is to summarize a number of the technologies that have been investigated and/or developed. In this technical review paper, the more commonly used active and passive building energy conservation techniques are described and discussed. The pros and cons of both the active and passive energy techniques are described with appropriate reference citations provided. This review article provides a description to give an understanding of building conservation approaches. In the active classification, several methods have been reviewed that include earth-to-air heat exchangers, ground-source and hybrid heat pumps, and the use of new refrigerants, among other methods. In the passive classification, methods such as vegetated roofs, solar chimneys, natural ventilation, and more are discussed. Often, in a building, multiple passive and active methods can be employed simultaneously.

“…They found that the total energy requirement was reduced by approximately 2.4% with the appropriate use of PCM. For a detached residential building in a warm, humid climate, a reduction in the energy performance index of approximately 34% was made possible by applying a cool roof, and a reduction of approximately 32% was achieved with a green roof [118].…”
