Abstract

As energy consumption concerns continue to grow in the built environment, there is an increasing demand for design solutions that are responsive to local climate conditions. This study conducts an in-depth examination of the climate profiles of twelve U.S. cities, categorized according to the Köppen climate classification system, utilizing a parametric platform to assess suitable passive design strategies. By evaluating the effectiveness of different passive approaches across diverse climate zones, this paper provides actionable recommendations for incorporating climate-responsive design principles in architecture. The research establishes theoretical models that connect climatic variables with corresponding passive design techniques, thereby contributing to the evolution of passive design theory. Through this, the study advocates for a data-driven, climate-sensitive methodology that aligns with the growing emphasis on sustainability in modern architecture.
