Climatic design
Climatic design
 The design of dwellings should respond to the
microclimate of the site and its locality .
the climatic response should be reflected in :

 the plan shape and orientation of the dwelling

 location of particular rooms
 materials used for construction
 location and shape of openings
 location of internal walls with respect to cross-ventilation
 roof form
 ceiling heights
 landscaping of adjacent ground to provide shading
 protection of openings against excessive solar access and rain
penetration, and
 insulation
Only in rare cases or particular regions may the housing rely
significantly upon mechanically assisted climatic control .

3-Eaves with large overhangs

Reasons:

 Climatic design is integral to the basic livability of

the dwelling.
 Good design enhances efficiency of the dwelling
and hence affordability.
 Climatically well-designed housing therefore
contributes to the environmental sustainability of
the overall community.
