9) Building orientation •

Climatic Implications The quantity of radiation a structure gets is determined by its direction. The quantity of

natural ventilation available is affected by the direction in relation to air patterns. 10) Surface area to volume ratio •

Climatic Implications When it comes to calculating heat loss and gain, the surface area to volume (S/V) ratio is

crucial. •

Building Design The primary problem in warm-humid regions is the creation of airy rooms. A decreased S/V

ratio may or may not be the consequence. In addition, the construction materials should not retain heat. 11) Roof form KARTIKEY BHATT 17EAHAR012
