Abstract: This paper basically illustrates a series studies and analysis to optimize the use of passive solar design in aim of thermal comfort in living spaces in Cyprus, during hot season. First, we state, different ways to optimize passive solar design in living spaces having different alternatives and choosing the best strategy by series of analysis and simulations. first, for the studies we monitored the indoor temperature of the spaces, from sunrise to sunset this would be the default temperature and then determine through simulations, how these passive solar design strategies affects the indoor temperature positively. Therefore, in this paper we would go through these strategies of optimizing passive solar design in living spaces and then finally suggest the best strategy to consider to improve the thermal performance of the space.
