Energy in buildings and Passive solar and natural cooling

Energy flows from passive solar and natural cooling to energy in buildings.

Energy in buildings (energy) and Passive solar and natural cooling (energy): 1 relationship.

How they are linked

1. Energy flow

Physical flow · 100% of flow · Passive solar and natural cooling → Energy in buildings

Glazing, thermal mass and shading cut the heating, cooling and lighting needed.

  • 100% of Passive solar and natural cooling's energy goes this way

Built from the site data on production routes, energy flows, industry value chains, input-output tables and prices.
