Design Objectives :
1. Resisting heat gain
a) Decreasing surface area of building exposed to
outside.
b) Using that material that take longer time to heat
R.P.E.T.G.I
up.
c) Increasing shading of the building in general.
d) Using material that reflect heat.
2. Promoting heat loss
a) Appliances used are well ventilated.
b) Proper ventilation occurs throughout the day.
C) Humidity levels are reduced as much as possible.
General recommendations for building
design in warm & humid climate:
1. SITE
a) Landform
*For flat sites, for design
consideration for the
R.P.E.T.G.I
landform is immaterial.
*In case of slopes and
depressions, the
building should be
located on windward
side or crest to take
advantage of cool
breeze.
b) Open spaces & build form
*Buildings should be
spread out with large
open spaces in between
for unrestricted air
movement.
*In cities, buildings on
R.P.E.T.G.I
in design of plant.
* Careful water proofing & drainage of
water are essential consideration of
building design due to heavy rainfall.
* Desiccant cooling techniques can be
employed as they reduce the humidity
level.

Religious Architecture
• Primarily patronized by temples of
Kerala as well as several old
churches, mosques etc.
• The circular roofs of temple are
direct legacy of Buddhist influences
in Ancient Kerala Architectural
styles
Material
The natural building materials available for
construction in Kerala are stones, timber,
clay and palm leaves. Granite is a strong
and durable building stone; however its
availability is restricted mostly to the
highlands and only marginally to other
zones.. Lime mortar can be improved in
strength and performance by admixtures of
