SFS102 1 1 0 2 2 50 0 0 50 50% 25

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

• To primarily understand the different Indian climatic zones and its effects on evolution of traditional /

vernacular architecture in response to the same.

• To understand how contemporary buildings have interpreted the climate in their building designs.

• To enable the students to read and interpret climatological data of the different climatic zones.

• To study in depth the logical evolution of different features of building and landscape with respect to the

climatic zones.

COURSE OUTLINE:

UNIT 1: Micro & Macro Climate

• Understanding basic terminology related to climate. Meanings of Micro & Macro Climate.

• Global climatic zones and its impact on shaping the built environments

• Study of Indian climatic zones: Ecological features like mountains, forests, river, sea etc. which has a wide

impact on Climate (Seasons).

• General instruments used for measurement, analysis and representation of climatic data.

UNIT 2: Thermal Comfort

• Human comfort conditions – Comfort chart, Comfort Zone, Effective temperature, Heat exchange process

• Thermal effects of Solar radiations(heat), rain, humidity, wind (Ventilation) etc. on human comfort and built

environments.

• Study of bioclimatic charts, Mahoney Tables, psychrometric charts etc. for better understanding of climate

• Use of softwares to analyze the effects of climatic conditions and probable solutions for the building design.

UNIT 3: Arid and Humid Climatic Zones

• Hot & dry (Arid and Semi-Arid).

• Warm & Humid zones (Tropical Wet).

UNIT 4: Moderate & Composite Climatic Zones

• Moderate (Temperate).

• Composite (Humid Subtropical).

UNIT 5: Cold and Cold Desert Climatic Zones

• Cold (Montane).

• Cold & dry (Cold Desert).

All above Indian climatic zones shall be studied considering its effects on the design of building features such as

orientation of building, floor, walls, roof, openings, façade, projections, shading devices, insulations etc. and all passive

techniques used for building/s with which thermal comfort can be achieved.

Indoor air quality, cross ventilation, stack effect, insulation, importance of vegetation, techniques of solar radiation

control and heat transfer etc. need to incorporated while doing the study.

done in Arch. Design.

• Study and analysis of an existing structure with respect to:

o Orientation

o Opening size and shading devices.

o Walls and roofs.

o Internal space distribution with respect to activity Preparation of report in groups consisting of not

more 10 students.

• Short notes and tutorials, models as per necessity.

• Case studies
