3.1.

Hot and Dry Climate-

The hot and dry climate is characterized by very high radiation levels and ambient temperatures, accompanied by low relative humidity. Therefore, it is desirable to keep the heat out of the building, and if possible, increase the humidity level. Example- Jaisalmer. The design objectives accordingly are: Resisting Heat GainHeat gain can be resisted by: • • • • •

Decreasing the surface of the building exposed outside. Using materials that take a longer time to heat up. Providing buffer spaces between the living areas and the outside. Decreasing ventilation during daytime in the summers. Providing adequate shading devices.
