Climate information for weather station in Phoenix
Temperature analysis for Mesa AZ
The distance from the site in mesa to the weather station in phoenix is about 20 miles. The site is located in climate zone 2. 20 Miles
This chart shows the different Temperature ranges for each month in the year.
Climate summery for Mesa AZ
The different colors represent the different temperatures. Dark Purple representing the lowest in the months of January and December. The highest temperature in red in the summer months.
This graph is showing same concept as the Image to the left. As you can see for this climate the warm days is what you have to focus most on when designing a building because there are more hot months then there are cold.
Relative Humidity in Mesa AZ
Psychometric Chart for this climate
The top left shows a graph for each month in the year. As you can see the only time the Dry bulb leaves the comfort zone is in the hotter months of the year from April to September. The above graph depicts the percentage of relative humidity, the highest percentage presenting itself in the early months of the year and December. Those are the times of year the Valley usually gets some precipitation during those months mix that with the heat of the days and you get humidity. But in all there is not much humidity throughout the year in this climate. The bottom left graph depicts the various comfort levels in the year. showing that the most uncomfortable time of year in this climate is the summer months.
This Psychometric chart shows the best comfort zone in this climate.
Psychometric Chart for this climate
Cloud Cover
This Psychometric chart shows the comfort zone in blue. If you take out all those passive design options then the only comfort would be inside that blue box. With the passive design elements then people can be comfortable when outside that blue zone as well.
The bottom right image shows the different passive design option that would best help a building in this climate.
These three graphs show the percentage of cloud cover in the different months. the most cloud cover you see is during the winter and monsoon months. And during the hotter months of the summer you see there is less cloud cover.
Wind Velocity
Precipitation (Rain fall)
This 3D graph shows that the most rain happens around July and August, this is during the monsoon season.
Top Left: This line graph is showing the highest average wind speed is April 30th. and the average lowest is August 16th. Top Right: This chart shows that the highest recorded wind speed was recorded in January and the lowest recoding of the year is August. Bottom image:: shows that the fastest wind speed is around April through July. Each of these charts depict that the most wind happens during the summer months.
Daylighting analysis
These two charts look very similar that is because one shows the Direct illumination for the year and the other shows the direct solar radiation and of coerce if it has direct radiation from sun that means that it is illuminated then as well. In conclusion you will need lots of shading and other passive design elements to fight the heat in this climate.
The highest solar energy happens in June. This makes since being that its the middle of the summer when the temperature is the highest
This chart shows the number of hours of sun light and day time for each month.
Building energy analysis: Iteration 1 Floor 1
Building analysis: Iteration 2 Floor 1
Building analysis: Iteration 3 Change: Made insulation better then before and put double panes on windows as well as added inside shades to the west windows in building
