There are many researches done on this subject. As of now there are few which are successful and can be set as an example.

In my opinion, the old methods of:

1. Orienting the building absolute East to West: Where entrance is East facing.

2. Creating more openings in the building envelope such as windows which are also east and west side.

3. Having a open to sky porch or courtyard in the middle of the building so as to allow heat to travel freely through the building.

4. Having double skinned walls and windows.

5. Having under deck insulation on the roof slab / terrace slab.

6. Creating as many openings in the corridors and passages.

7. Having the corridors and passages on the periphery of the building with gabion walls.
