AR2204 CLIMATE AND BUILT ENVIRONMENT L T P/S C
3 0 0 3
AIM:
To enable the understanding of the technical basis of the environment which exists in or around
a building and to integrate the requirements of climate in building and in relation to building
functions.
OBJECTIVES:
To study human heat balance and comfort.
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 and siting
of buildings
To expose the students to the various design strategies for building in different types of
climatic zones.
CONTENT:
UNIT I CLIMATE AND HUMAN COMFORT 10
Factors that determine climate of a place – Components of Climate – Climate classifications for
building designers in tropics – Climate characteristics. Human body heat balance – Human body
heat loss – Effects of climatic factors on human body heat loss – Effective temperature –
Human thermal comfort – Use of C.Mahony’s tables.
UNIT II DESIGN OF SOLAR SHADING DEVICES 8
Movement of sun – Locating the position of sun – Sun path diagram – Overhead period–Solar
shading–Shadow angles – Design of appropriate shading devices
UNIT III HEAT FLOW THROUGH BUILDING ENVELOPE CONCEPTS 9
The transfer of heat through solids – Definitions – Conductivity, Resistivity, Specific heat,
Conductance, Resistance and Thermal capacity – Surface resistance and air cavities– Air to air
transmittance ( U value ) – Time lag and decrement
UNIT IV IMPACT OF AIR MOVEMENT DUE TO NATURAL AND BUILT FORMS 9
18
The wind – The effects of topography on wind patterns – Air currents around the building – Air
movement through the buildings – The use of fans – Thermally induced air currents – Stack
effect, Venturi effect – Use of court yard.
UNIT V CLIMATE AND DESIGN OF BUILDINGS 9
Design strategies in warm humid climates, hot humid climates, hot and dry climates and cold
climates – Climate responsive design exercises
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
