The purpose of this study is to develop passive design guidelines for architects to utilize materials on design process of buildings. Passive design is a specific approach centered on architectural design to adapt to natural climate without mechanical heating or cooling, which also maintain tenants' indoor environmental qualities with lower energy costs. However, in most cases, architects to manage this manner encounter some problems not to know passive design and related knowledge. So, this research was conducted to help designers to get comprehensive abilities in aspects of passive design methods. This study was proceeded by as follows: (1) to summarize domestic climate data and provide initial design strategies (2) to classify passive elements based on journals, examples and simulations (3) to evaluate cooling and heating performance of both design factors and existing buildings. (4) to organize manual frame by using practical scopes to improve availability. (5) to describe design methods by element that include several information modeled on papers, cases and simulations; 'Windows Design Guideline for Conservation of Building Energy' etc. In conclusion of this work, guideline frames are consisted of a variety of connection "between elements and supplemental data" that can help architects to design regarding energy performance. Therefore, this book is expected to fortify to be utilized passive design for high-efficient and comfortable buildings.
