SHEET NO

This surfaces has receives least radiation hence it is best for having maximum openings for daylight
as well as for ventilation whenever required.
Diffused glare-free north light thus can be utilized to its fullest by providing north facing skylights also.

CLIMATE ZONE- HOT AND ARID

Intense radiations on SE in morning hours and SW in the evening hours.

Full Shading required. Exposed wall area to be kept to minimum through orientation or form.
The surfaces can be light in color to reflect excess heat. Only small and deep windows should be provided.

N-E and N-W can be the most comfortable spaces for habitation ( reading spaces and office
spaces) as the a,ount of radiation received is low and good quality of natural light can be achieved
without glare.
The sun altitude will be low, however only minimum shading is required due to low radiation levels.

Maximum Radiation during the summer month and also after monsoon,ie. September and
October. It is least during the months of July and August. Vertical Shades will be required.
On the EAST FACE- maximum radiation during morning hours, and WEST- maximum radiation
during afternoons, hence MIGRATION can be used as a strategy in the reading areas.

Radiation is maximum during winter months between 10 am to 2 pm. Thus habitable spaces that are
required to be heated during winter can be placed facing south, but also have to be partially shaded
during summer months.
It is least during the months of June, July and August.

RADIATION SQUARES

Radiation is maximum during summer months between 10 am to 2 pm. Hence care has to be taken by
minimizing or shading the horizontal surface area for comfort in harsh summer months.
It is least during the months of July and August.
