1) Latitude (distance from the equator),
2) Altitude (height above sea level),
3) Topography (surface features),
4) Distance from oceans and large lakes,
5) The circulation of the air.
Accordingly, there are 5 major types of climates:
1) Hot and Dry
2) Warm and Humid
3) Cold and Dry
4) Composite
5) Moderate

In India most of the
region falls under 2 types
of climate: composite
and hot and dry
The only difference
between and hot and dry
climate is Composite
regions experience
higher humidity levels
during monsoons.

1) Ambient Temperature:Summer: 32-43C during day and 27-32C at night
Winter: 10-25 C during day and 4-10 C at night.
2) Relative humidity:20-25 % in dry periods and 55-95% in wet periods.
3) Precipitation:500-1300mm Per year
4) Winds: Summer: Winds are hot and dusty
Winter: Dry cold winds from the north east
Monsoon: Strong winds from the south east
5) Sky condition: Summer: occasional haze;
Winter: clear;
Monsoon: overcast and dull

HIGH PERFORM NCE BUILDINGSAccording to Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-058),
Highperformance buildingmeans a building that integrates and
optimizes all major high-performance building attributes, including
energy efficiency, durability, life-cycle performance, and occupant
productivity.
Basic needs for high performance building:
Climate sensitive architecture
Use of Eco friendly materials Energy efficient design
Preservation of natural eco system
Use of renewable energy

Design FeaturesWater bodies for evaporative cooling
White or any light coloured exterior surface
Appropriate orientation and shape of the buildingUse of trees as wind barriersRoof insulationThick walls/ cavity walls/ jali/ hollow brick wallsPergolasWalls and glass surface protected by
overhangs, fins and treesCourtyards, wind towers and other openings

Use of Passive means rather thanactive means
Passive design strategies Indirect cooling includes ventilationand stack effect and venture effect, roof pond, earth airtunnel, courtyards and wind scoops and wind towers.
