Question

Dear aj Camille

What do you mean by 'passive energy production'
I have googled it and there seems to be nothing on it ( as far as I'm concerned)
Is it the same thing as 'passive solar energy'?
I don't think you have covered this topic during the comment section of the review

Regards,

From google itself:
Passive energy, a term usually used in reference to passive solar energy, is natural energy which is directly harnessed to achieve a desired goal. By contrast, active energy is energy which is used to generate electricity. Passive energy systems require little energy or effort to maintain, and they are designed to replace traditional energy sources, reducing overall energy use rather than just switching the source of the energy.


The idea behind me mentioning this we will discuss tomorrow in tutorial - in the meantime think about how you could apply it.
