These illustrate strong characteristics of historical and traditional architecture, which serve as exemplars for energy-saving architecture today and are used on the Experimental Solar House. and are now fundamentally used in passive architecture. Passive solar design elements have been found in constructions created since 7000B.C. However, it is concluded that it is impossible to accurately specify final temperatures and relative humidity for the average person, because of the psychological, physiological and practical factors.

The results show that all heating requirements are satisfied by solar energy, while natural ventilation or ceiling fans meet all the cooling needs. Through monitoring the Experimental Solar House from the until, using computer data loggers. The psychometric chart, Olgyays’ bioclimatic chart, Humphreys’ comfort chart and Szokolays’ equation were adapted for Lefkosia. The research into thermal comfort concluded that, for Cyprus, an average 19.5☌ – 29☌ is an acceptable temperature and an average of 20-75% is the acceptable range of relative humidity. The history of architecture in Cyprus.In order to establish the parameters for this design detailed investigations were made of the following:

The principal element of the study was the design, construction and monitored inhabitation of an Experimental Solar House at Lefkosia. The aim of this research was to investigate the potential of the well-established principles of Passive Solar Design when applied to the specific cultural, economic and climatic contexts of Cyprus.
