A simplified explanation. Passive solar design uses the building itself to work with the sun. Orientation, window placement, shading, and thermal mass help capture warmth in winter and limit heat in summer. A simple idea with long-term impact. #PassiveSolar #SustainableDesign #ClimateResponsiveDesign #ArchitectureExplained #EnvironmentalDesign #ArchitectureEducation #Archimarathon | Archimarathon

I always found that it's a way of over complicating something that is quite simply obvious, if you think about it. But don't think about it too much, or you might end up like me. #passivesolar #solar #design #thermal #mass | Architect Russell | Facebook

Take a look inside our new Health Sciences Building at Southern Cross University Coffs Harbour. Boasting a stunning passive solar building design and inspired by the biomechanics of movement, it incorporates an integrated running track that passes externally and internally, allowing for the capture of synchronised movement data. Students will have access to hands-on technology that literally changes the shape of a work-space to support clients of all abilities, cutting-edge exercise science labs
