CLIMATE ANALYSIS

E. Shaded Envelop
1) Roof
All the elements of a building are vulnerable to heat gains. Proper shading is therefore a very
important aspect in building design.
Cool roof: Along with shading of roof, solar passive design also recommends cool roof. Cool roofs are
roofs covered with a reflective coating that has high emissivity property which is very effective in
reflecting the sun‘s energy away from the roof surface. This quality greatly helps in reducing the
cooling load that needs to be met by the HVAC system.

 CLIMATE ANALYSIS OF AHMEDABAD
Site justification

The region Ahmedabad is situated in the banks of River Sabarmati, the most prominent and
important city of Gujarat i.e. Ahmedabad experiences a semi-arid hot climate.

Summers in Ahmedabad- Summers enter the city in the month of March and continue
till July. The summer months in Ahmedabad are characterized by extreme hot and dry
climate. The minimum average temperature is about 23°C while the maximum
temperature is 43°C. The highest temperature that has been recorded in the city till
date is 47°C.
Monsoons in Ahmedabad- South western monsoons sweep into Ahmedabad in mid-
JulyMonsoon continues till the month of September. The average annual rainfall
received by the city is 93.2 cm. The monsoons are often characterized by torrential
infrequent rains.
Winters in Ahmedabad- Ahmedabad experiences a very dry climate in the winter
months i.e. from November to February. With average temperature of minimum 15°C
and maximum 30°C,

DESIGN CONSIDERATION FOR HOT AND DRY CLIMATE OF AHMEDABAD

Landscaping
Landscaping is an important element in altering the micro-climate of a place. Proper landscaping
reduced direct sun from striking and heating up building surfaces. It is the best way to provide a buffer for
heat, sun, noise, traffic, and airflow or for diverting airflow or exchanging heat in a solar-passive design.
Deciduous trees provide shade in summers and sunlight in winters;
evergreen trees on the north and north-west of the building provide shade round the year. The use of
dense trees and shrub plantings on the west and southwest sides of a building will block the summer
setting sun.
Place trees approximately half the width of the tree‘s canopy from the building and spaced at 1/4th to
1/3rd the canopy width. This parameter should also be considered for good daylight integration inside
the built spaces.

Building Form
Building form can affect solar access and wind exposure as well as the rate of heat loss or heat
gain through the external envelope.
The circular geometry has the lowest S/V ratio thus the conduction gains from the building
envelope as well as solar gains from windows are least, in circular geometry in comparison to
other building geometries which is most energy efficient in hot & dry climate
Sheltering or self-shading- Built form, which is designed such that it is self-shaded through massing
or articulation results in sheltered built forms, and cuts off a large amount of direct solar radiation.
In hot & dry climate, the envelope should be designed so that it remains shaded for the greater
part of the day; the external walls should be so planned that they shade each other.

Water Bodies
Water is a good modifier of micro-climate. It takes up large amount of heat in evaporation and causes
significant cooling.. It possesses very high thermal storage capacity much higher than the building
materials like Brick, concrete, stone. Large bodies of water in the form of lake, river, and fountain generally
have a moderating effect on the temperature of the surrounding area due to the higher thermal storage
capacity of water compared to land and cause variations in airflow. During the day the air is hotter over
the land and rises, drawing cooler air in from the water mass resulting in land breezes. During the night as
the land mass cools quicker, the airflow will be reversed. Water evaporation has a cooling effect in the
surroundings.
Orientation
Orient the buildings with the long axes in the east-west direction so that the longest walls face north and
south, and only the short wall face east and west.
Orientation also plays an important role with respect to wind direction. At building level, orientation
affects the heat gain through building envelope and thus the cooling demand, orientation may affect
the daylight factor depending upon the surrounding built forms, and finally the depending upon the
windward and leeward orientation fenestration could be designed to integrate natural ventilation.
