Architectural design for a comfortable microclimate – the Earth The Earth's major source of heat and light, the sun, also creates the secondary climatic elements of wind and humidity that affect physiological comfort. These are caused by the configuration and nature of the local surface, such as the mountains, plains, oceans, deserts, and forests. The interplay between this astronomical source of energy with the effects it causes and the landscape creates the microclimate, which is the concern of the science of meteorology. Hassan Fathy

Architectural design for a comfortable microclimate – the Built Environment However, the built environment produces changes in the microclimate. The configuration of buildings, their orientations, and their arrangement in space create a specific microclimate for each site. To this must be added the building materials, surface textures and colors of exposed surfaces of the buildings, and the design of open spaces, such as streets, courtyards, gardens, and squares. These man-made elements interact with the natural microclimate to determine the factors affecting comfort in the built environment: light, heat, wind, and humidity. Hassan Fathy

Sustainable city A sustainable city, or eco-city is a city designed with consideration of environmental impact, inhabited by people dedicated to minimization of required inputs of energy, water and food, and waste output of heat, air pollution - CO2, and water pollution. Although the process of growing of the cities can’t be stopped the measures must be taken to minimize the energy consumption. Architecture and town planning must become instruments for creating harmony between cities and natural environment.

Cold Areas Bio-Climatic Urban Design §

The general RULES that govern Cold Climate Design are:

§

create a sheltered MICROCLIMATE to make it LESS cold. If you design the site to capture the sun and buffer it from winter winds, it will make the local temperatures and conditions easier for the building to respond to.

§

Maximize daylighting for both urban spaces and buildings

§

Material should be choose as a balance between heat collection and light reflectivity

§

ORIENT AND SITE THE BUILDING PROPERLY FOR THE SUN. If the buildings cannot receive free heat from the sun due to the orientation of its glazing away from the sun, then this will be a problem.

§

maximize south facing facades for easier control. When we look at solar angles in the Passive Design powerpoint, you will see that south facing windows are preferable, both for the amount of free energy that they can provide, as well as the ease of shading them in the summer months when we wish to exclude unwanted heat from our building interiors.

§

East and West facing windows are more difficult to control for solar issues. North facing windows do not benefit from solar gain, and result mostly in heating losses through the envelope.

Solar Access

Š 2008 Autodesk


Solar Access

Better solar access is possible with east-west street sections as the south face of the building will get sun for most of the day. Street spacing is adjusted so that the buildings do not block each other’s south light when the angles are lowest in the winter (for good design).

Š 2008 Autodesk


Solar Access When working with street layouts that have a dominant north-south street orientation, during the morning and afternoon hours, particularly in the winter months, the street level and lower levels of opposing buildings are often in the shade. This is only alleviated by making very wide streets.

Comfort zone The Comfort Zone refers to the range of temperature conditions of air movement, humidity and exposure to direct sunlight, under which a moderately clothed human feels “comfortable”. This will be different for Indoor versus Outdoor conditions. These will be different for different CLIMATE types. Image from MIT – Maryline Anderson

Micro-climate Whatever the FOUND condition of the site upon which we are to consider building has a climate that is not only dependent upon the general climate of the REGION, but also, the specific climate of the site as affected by: - the surface or surfaces that cover the ground - available tree cover, size, height, biodiversity, species, etc. - nearness to water - amount of paving adjacent - height of adjacent buildings

Micro-climate When we design WITH the specific local environmental characteristics in mind, we start to manipulate the relationship between the climate, the site and the building to create a local environment or MICROCLIMATE around the building. This “mini climate” that is created around the building can decrease the apparent severity of the climate (and hence the work the building must do to make for a comfortable interior AND exterior environment around the building) OR, if badly handled, can increase the severity of the local climate.

Temperature Guidelines: Cold City: How to make a site Warmer? 1. Use maximum solar exposures 2. Provide for paved and masonry surfaces on south side of site. 3. Provide vegetational canopies to reduce night cooling. 4. Encourage “sun pockets” on site. 5. Make windbreaks with vegetation or fence like enclosures. 6. Remove shading devices during the day (or winter). 7. Use heat-retaining materials such as concrete or masonry. 8. Locate outdoor terraces for afternoon in the south or southwest.

Temperature Guidelines: Warm City: How to make a site Cooler? 1. Make extensive use of shade trees as an overhead canopy. 2. Use vines, on trellis, or canopies on south and west facing walls. 3. Use trellises, overhangs -- this also limits heat loss at night. 4. Use ground covers or turf on earth rather than paving. 5. Prune lower branches of trees and reduce close shrubs to encourage air circulation. 6. Provide for evaporative cooling from water elements. 7. Use areas on north and east of building for outdoor activities. 8. Remove windbreaks which would limit airflow during warmer months.

Š 2008 Autodesk


Humidity Guidelines: Dry Climate: How to make a site more humid? 1. Allow standing water to stay on site and limit drainage. 2. Encourage overhead planting which slows evaporation and provides moisture from the plants. 3. Add water elements such as fountains. Also helps from sound of water. 4. Use turf or ground cover instead of paving. 5. Use low windbreaks (below 1.2m) to preserve moisture transpired by surf or ground cover. 6. Use natural wood chip or peat mulch under all plantings.

Š 2008 Autodesk


Humidity Guidelines: Humid Climate: How to make a site drier? 1. Maximize solar radiation exposure on site and reduce shading devices. 2. Maximize airflow and ventilation across the site. 3. Provide an efficient water drainage system for groundwater and storm drainage. 4. Pave all horizontal ground surfaces. 5. Reduce planting, especially ground covers and turf. 6. Eliminate all water bodies, pools and fountains.

Albedo "Albedo" or reflectivity is the ratio of the amount of light reflected from a material to the amount of light shone on the material. § In the case of pavements, a lower Albedo suggests that more sunlight in absorbed by the pavement. § This sunlight is converted into thermal energy and the pavement gets hotter. § Pavements with higher albedo collect less energy and are thus cooler. §

Urban reflections

Š 2008 Autodesk


Urban reflections § § §

§ §

URBAN REFLECTANCES of a space are governed by two primary surface characteristics of the building materials – COLOR AND TEXTURE. Color determines the quantity of light reflected by a surface. Dark-colored materials absorb light while light-color materials reflect light. Texture determines the quality of light leaving the surface after the reflection. Rough textured surfaces, referred to as matte, create diffused reflected light. Smooth or glossy surfaces create specular reflected light. When lighting a urban space, diffuse light is preferable because specular surfaces can lead to glare. A larger space has more opportunity for interreflections (losses) than a smaller space

Form: ventilation §

the form of the building has a significant impact on the ability to ventilate a building using natural means

§

natural ventilation is achieved by two mechanisms: wind driven pressure and stack effect when considering natural ventilation it is important to remember that the ventilation level is dependent upon wind speed and/or temperature and is therefore variable

§

© 2008 Autodesk


Wind Guidelines: Windy Climate: How to make a site less windy? 1. Use extensive windbreaks (plants, landforms, structures). 2. Use outdoor living areas that are semi-enclosed by building or landscape. 3. Do not prune or thin lower branches on tall trees. 4. Locate outdoor activities in areas protected by natural windbreaks. 5. Excavate and place activities partly below ground level in order to use the earth to block winds and require lower windbreaks.

Š 2008 Autodesk


Wind Guidelines: How to increase wind flow and cooling? 1. Remove all obstructions to prevailing and predictable wind sources. 2. Use plants and landforms to funnel and accelerate breezes. 3. Prune all lower branches of taller trees. 4. Curtail and limit low plant growth between 1 and 10 feet high which would obstruct wind flow. 5. Locate outdoor activities in areas with maximum exposure to prevailing breezes. 6. Build decks or platforms in areas exposed to breezes. 7. Locate evening activities in cool air puddles or in sloped valleys to take advantage of airflow.
