CLIMATIC DESIGN
3 0 3
AIM:
To enable the understanding of the technical basis of the environment that
exists in or around a building and to integrate the requirements of climate in
building and in relation to building functions.
OBJECTIVES:
To familiarize students with the design and settings for buildings for daylight
and factors that influence temperature.
To inform about the air pattern around buildings and the effect of wind on
design of buildings
Factors that determine climate of a place - Components of Climate Climate classifications for building designers in tropics - Climate
characteristics. Human body heat balance Body heat balance - Effects of
climatic factors on human body heat loss - Effective temperature - &
Comfort zone, Human thermal comfort - Thermal comfort factors and
indices.

AIM:
A growing worldwide concern for the conservation of energy & environment
has led to energy efficient building; renewable nature sources of energy
(solar energy etc.) and utilizing materials that least pollute the environment.
OBJECTIVE:
To understand a built environments responses to natural heating and cooling and
therby understanding principles to be implemented when designing spaces.
