*The greenhouse refers to the short wavelengths of visible light from the sun.
*The light from the sun passes through a transparent medium and is absorbed.
*The trapping of a long wavelength radiation leads to more heating and higher temperature.
*It has been named to trap the excess heat by the rising concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

*Refers to the use of heating and cooling of the temperature in living spaces.
*Operable windows, thermal mass, and thermal chimneys are common elements found in passive design.
*Passive design is practiced throughout the world and has been shown to produce buildings with low energy costs, reduced maintenance, and superior comfort.
*Wing walls are vertical exterior wall partitions placed perpendicular to adjoining windows to enhance ventilation through windows.
