In its broadest sense, the word passive suggests accepting what happens without active response.

In the construction industry, 'passive' is generally taken to mean the opposite of 'active' and is often used to refer to systems or design strategies that do not involve mechanical or active means, for example, natural ventilation as opposed to mechanical ventilation.
