CLIMATE RTESPONSIVE HOUSING

b) Increasing the air exchange rate (ventilation)

In this region, the general recommendations are as follows:

SITE LANDFORM: Building the structure on the windward slopes is preferable for getting cool Breezes.

OPEN SPACES AND BUILT FORM: An open and free layout of the buildings is preferred. Large open spaces in the form of lawns can be provided to reduce reflected radiation.

ORIENTATION AND PLANFORM It is preferable to have a building oriented in the north-south direction. Bedrooms may be located on the eastern side, and an open porch on the south - southeast side, while the western side should ideally be well-shaded. Humidity producing areas must be isolated. Sunlight is desirable except in summer, so the depth of the interiors may not be excessive.

BUILDING ENVELOPE a) Roof: Insulating the roof does not make much of a difference in the moderate climate.
