This paper investigates thermal performance of an existing eco-friendly and low embodied energy vault roof passive house (or mud-house) located at Solar Energy Park of IIT Delhi, New Delhi (India). Based on embodied energy analysis, the energy payback time for the mud-house was determined as 18 years. The embodied energy per unit floor area of R.C.C. building (3702.3MJ/m 2 ) is quiet high...
A model to estimate daylight factor was investigated and validated using experimental hourly inside and outside illuminance data of an existing skylight integrated vault roof mud-house in composite climate of New Delhi. The daylight factor model was found in good agreement with experimental value of daylight factor. This model was modified for different practical horizontal surface levels inside the...
