3.4.6 Analysis and inferences

Criteria Observation Inferences

Orientation of Plan

Landscape Technique

Green coverage mostly present on façade. Massing

Building orientation was SW-NE.

In composite climate the orientation of building is SW-NE Vegetated mat living wall Façade integrated green wall, façade supported living wall, green roof. South Façade and North Façade 40%-70% South and SouthEast Façade.

Massing is done in verticality and horizontally. Can be done in more than one façade.

Reduction of Heat 60% Interior Spaces Interior of the building was cool than the outside.

Natural Light

50%-75% The interior spaces tends to be cooler than the outer.

Natural Ventilation

Prevailing wind direction is SE-NW. Wind direction is SE-NW during summers and is NESW during winters.

Irrigation Plastic hose and some automatic sprinkler were used for the irrigation process. The green roof can be irrigated with sprinklers and can be naturally irrigated in future. The green wall can be irrigated by the plastic hose and automatic irrigation system.

Maintenance A pathway is provided along the planters an the living wall so that it can be accessed for maintenance. There’s no gap between the façade and the living wall so according to the design maintenance should be checked.
