Lecture 1 - Climate Change
Climate
Existing prevailing weather conditions in an area in general or over a long period
Heat Island Effect
Why does it occur?
Building materials that...
Store heat
Concrete
Brickwalls
Reflective
Glass
Too many pavement coverage area
Roads
Building form and urban arrangement
Traps heat
Blocks wind
Human's role
Usage of air conditioner
Vehicular exhaust
Symptoms
Extreme Heat
Floods and draught
Big ice cap melts
Hurricanes and storm
Ecosystem & agriculture
Contribution of Different Activities
Industry (40%)
Buildings (31%)
Transport (22%)
Agriculture (4%)
Sustainability
Something that could be defended or maintained up to a certain rate of time
Can never be used forever.
Therefore look at long term effects instead of short term effects
Can be applied in every architectural stage
Design and Forming
Best design that fits the climate
Proportion & Scale
Apartment Vs Terrace Houses
Double Volume Spaces
Building Material
Sustainability and aesthetic
Construction Method
Prefabricated VS In-situ
Case Study
Climate Change
Is a significant and lasting global or regional of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years
Elements of Climate
Aspects of climate that affects human comfort
Air Temperature
Measure of hot and cold
Wind
Moving air flush out warm air and replaces it with cool air
Humidity
Amount of water vapour in air
Rainfall
Higher temperature causes atmosphere to contain more water vapour which increases the chances of heavy downpour
Vegetation
Offsets the amount of greenhouse gas released
Solution
Climate
Work with force of nature
Biology
Structure designed with environmental setting
Technology
Natural or nature-friendly building materials
Reducing machines and mechanical inputs
Climate Classification
Macro-climate
General weather conditions that affect the region
Micro-climate
Specific detailed climatic conditions affecting local area
Indoor temperatures VS Climate
Different weather, different desired comfort level
