Passive strategy is believed as the primary strategy to achieve high performance on green building before applying an active strategy. Various passive strategy options need to be used optimally in buildings before implementing an active strategy. Architects can choose different passive strategy options while combining them to be applied to buildings. Architects need to listen to the opinions of experts who have been engaged in the field of green architecture or passive strategies to achieve the best performance. This study aims to determine the opinions of experts on the performance of passive green building strategies based on their understanding while giving weight to the main options available. This study has used an interview to confirm the available passive strategy options and have used the Analytic Hierarchy Process to weigh the performance of the passive strategy options according to criteria obtained from various sources. The criteria used in measuring passive strategy performance are energy efficiency, environmental impact, comfort, ease of implementation, savings in operational and investment cost. It can be concluded that according to experts, the most influential passive strategy option on building performance is the building shape, followed by building orientation, building envelope, interior design, and greenery.
