  • Abstract:
  • Passive cooling systems are critical for decreasing building energy consumption, particularly in warm areas, while increasing occupant comfort and sustainability. This study looks at the use of passive cooling systems in earth-based construction, with an emphasis on their design, thermal performance, economic efficiency, and environmental advantages. Because of the high thermal mass and breathability of materials such as adobe, rammed earth, and CSEB, earth-based building promotes passive cooling by default. The research also looks at current adaptations of ancient technologies, such as sun shading devices, and optimal orientation, and how these might be applied within the constraints of local construction codes. The investigation comprises case studies, thermal simulations, and compliance evaluations, all of which contribute to a better knowledge of India's sustainable design practices. It corresponds with the India Cooling Action Plan (ICAP), which aims to reduce cooling demand by 20-25% by 2037 while prioritizing energy efficiency and environmental sustainability (Ministry of Environment, 2024).
