[Energy in buildings](https://www.materialinsights.org/energy/e_buildings/) (energy) and [Passive solar and natural cooling](https://www.materialinsights.org/energy/e_passive/) (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
