SYNOPSIS

INTRODUCTION

Mesoclimate is described as the climate of a site as influenced byelevation, aspect, slope or distances from large bodies of water.

The focus of Mesoclimate studies is usually horizontal surfaces whichmay extend from kilometers to hectometers.

Typically, Mesoclimate temperatures are measured at 1.5 metersand/or at 0.5 meters above the ground, humidity is measured at 0.5

meters above the ground, and wind speed is determined at 1-2 meters

above the ground.

Mesoclimate considerations are important for the study of urbanecology and bioclimatology.. Mesoclimate is often referred to as

Topoclimate for its the topographic influence on a sites climate

4.Scope of study.AIM:

The aim of this dissertation is:

1. To understand the energy conscious design approach by the ways ofthe mesoclimatology.

2. An enquiry to analyze the importance of the climatology and theirrelevance in todays context3. To understand and derive inferences - how can this knowledge be put

to use in design practice.

OBJECTIVE:

1. Understanding the relevance ofMesoclimate and its application inarchitecture, focusing on the sustainable architecture.

2. What part of the understanding of climatology and their functioningshould/could be included in my design process?

3. How can it affect our design thinking, process and programming?

METHODOLOGY:

The method to be followed for research:

1. Developing a basic understanding of the application ofmesoclimatology by literature study.

2. Understanding some basic principles and their practical aspectthrough a no of case studies.

Method for Case Studies:

I. Draw a quick plan of the building under study.II.environmental analysis (topography, temperature, humidity,

wind direction etc.) or survey of the building under study will

be conducted by getting input on some simple study related to

temperature, wind direction, comfort zone etc. in the building.

1. Tabulate Data collected under two categories as mentioned above.2.

Draw Conclusions as per results obtained through case studies.

SCOPE OF STUDY:

1. Introduction2. Differnce b/w macro ,meso and micro climate3. Mesoclimate in different regions4. Impact of mesoclimate on a particular site (defined area)5. Understanding the Parameters

Solar radiation Topography Vegetation Water body Temperature Wind direction Humidity

6. Understanding the Mesoclimate approaches in creating energyefficient habitats through case studies, study data etc.

7. Drawing Conclusions
