Abstract

An enduring design needs to have roots...To tackle an issue you have to know it's history. History is for human self-knowledge...the only clue what man has done. The estimation of history, at that point, is that it shows us what man has done and consequently what man is; same as with architecture. Thermal comfort, similar to such huge numbers of part of the environmental control, is far simpler to characterize than accomplishing. The major outline issue which this paper examines is the thermal comfort. In the present scenario, thermal discomfort is an issue amongst everybody's life. Numerous passive cooling systems have been proposed to take care of this issue; however, their initiation is financially savvy and yet is not energy efficient to an extent. To take care of this issue we need to restore those affecting highlights in historic buildings, giving a view on the thoughts like their planning, materials, techniques that have been utilized as a part of that era to diminish thermal discomfort. Thermal comfort in a building makes it user-friendly. The effective use of natural resources in the building to achieve comfort can be learned from historical buildings. And now to create a sustainable environment with less or no external or artificial energy. This paper discusses how effective use of natural energy in the historic building can impact human comfort and energy efficiency. And what inferences or results we can take from them so as to use that technique or idea in buildings of this era.
