👉 Passive engineering refers to the design and construction methodologies that prioritize minimizing environmental impact, enhancing sustainability, and optimizing resource efficiency without directly altering the physical structure or function of a system. This approach often involves using renewable materials, implementing energy-efficient processes, and designing for longevity and recyclability. Passive engineering seeks to reduce the carbon footprint and ecological disruption associated with traditional engineering practices by focusing on holistic, long-term solutions that consider the entire lifecycle of a project, from material sourcing to end-of-life disposal or reuse.
