Urban Heat Island (UHI)
The tendency for urban areas to have warmer air
temperatures than the surrounding rural landscape, due to
the low albedo (ratio of solar radiation) of streets,
sidewalks, parking lots, and buildings.
These surfaces absorb solar radiation during the day and
release it at night, resulting in higher night temperatures.
Scheme of sustainable development: at the confluence of three
preoccupations.

Principles of Sustainable Built Environment
Architectural Design
1. Climate conscious & responsive design

Climate conscious design requires
a) a thorough understanding of the local climate,
and
b) employment of several strategies and systems for
the creation of an agreeable micro-climate with a
minimal investment of energy.

The success of such a design depends as much on
the integration of these strategies and
the proper operation of the building by its users
Principles of Sustainable Built Environment

2. Achieving Comfort
Human comfort is a prime objective for
any building design.
To achieve indoor comfort depend very
much on the ability of the design team
to exploit available outdoor climatic
element appropriately.

Principles of Sustainable Built Environment
Architectural Design
3. Sustainable resources
Sustainable materials
Selection of building materials which does not
treat the natural resources, particularly
species which is endangered.
Sustainable energy
There are two types of energy; Renewable
and non-renewable.
Priority should be given to use renewable
energy. If non-renewable is to be used, use
wisely implement Energy Efficiency
practices.

4. Low energy
Low energy building concept is becoming
Important and crucial to be implemented.
Low energy building means;
Use less energy & electricity generated from
fossil fuel power plants.
Generate own energy & electricity via
renewable technologies such as PV & solar
heating.
Principles of Sustainable Environmental
Architectural Design
5. Environmentally sustainable
Implement 3R;
Reduce,
Reuse,
Recycle.
Principles of Sustainable Environmental
Architectural Design
6. Economically viable
Economic viability is a key to the success
of any new architectural design solutions.
Sustainable Architectural design
sometime require additional capital,
however if the technology is able to prove
substantial savings in reasonable time
frame, it is consider economically viable.
Usually the terms used is ROI (return of
investment) of Pay back period.

Sustainable Architecture
Several terms can be associated with SA;
Climatic Architecture
Bioclimatic architecture
Low energy architecture
Sustainable design in architecture
Passive solar Architecture
Integrated Energy Building Design.
Neo-Vernacular backed by science.
Sustainable design
Sustainable design
is the art of designing physical objects to
comply with the principles of
economic,
social, and
ecological sustainability.
designing
small objects for everyday use,
designing buildings,
cities, and
the earth's physical surface.

Examples of sustainable design
1. Green buildings
conserve energy, water and resources with
limited polluting of either indoor or outdoor
environments.
2. autonomous buildings
use available resources such as rainwater,
solar power or wind turbines, in order to
reduce their dependence on fossil fuels and
other resources.
3. can be constructed of
recycled materials as well, reducing their total
energy requirements for construction.

Sustainable Architecture
Architecture which does not damage
natural resources and which leaves the
environment in good condition.
Environmental sustainable architecture
Environmentally friendly architecture is
based on the following five principles:
1) healthful interior environment;
2) energy efficiency;
3) ecologically benign (kind) materials;
4) environmental form;
5) good design.

Climatic Architecture Design Strategies
for Sustainable Environment
Design Approach
During the design phase: It integrates all the
sub-systems and parts of the building must fit
and work together.
It is essential that the design team (architects,
engineers, building occupants and specialists
in areas such as indoor air quality, materials,
and energy use) be fully integrated from the
beginning of the process.

Climatic Architecture Design Strategies for

Design Process
The design process takes into
consideration the building structure and
systems as a whole and examines how
these systems work best together to
save energy and reduce environmental
impact.
Considers site, energy, materials, indoor
air quality, acoustics, natural resources,
and their interrelation.

Climatic architecture
aims to use climatic resources to reduce
spending on energy for heating, cooling
and lighting of buildings,
with a view to providing a comfortable
atmosphere :
thermal comfort summer and winter,
lighting comfort,
respirator (breathe) comfort.
General Concept of Climatic Architecture
General Concept of Climatic Architecture
Climatic architecture
is a way of designing buildings and
manipulating the environment within
buildings by working with natural forces
around the building rather than against
them.
concerns itself with climate as a major
contextual generator, and
with benign (kind) environments using
minimal energy as its target.
Why Climatic architecture is significant ?
use and exploit available free energy
from environment.
EE means less energy consumption
less energy cost less environmental
problem due to the burning of fossil fuels
for electricity generation.

Principles of Climatic Architecture in
Tropical Climate
1. Passive solar
Passive solar is a term referring to those technologies that
can be employed
to convert sunlight into usable heat,
to cause air-movement for ventilation or cooling, or
to store the heat for future use,
without the use of much or any electrical or mechanical
equipment.
Principles of Climatic Architecture in
Tropical Climate
1. Passive solar

Passive solar technologies include
direct gain and indirect gain for space heating,
use of thermal mass and
phase-change materials for dampening indoor air
temperature swings,
the solar chimney for enhancing natural ventilation,
and earth sheltering.
solar water heating systems based on the thermo
siphon,
solar cookers,
Principles of Climatic Architecture in
Tropical Climate
Passive solar design techniques;
Building position
Based on the local climate and the sun's
positioning
the entire building can be positioned and
angled to be oriented towards or away
from the sun (according whether heating
or cooling is the primary concern),
overshadowing from other structures or
natural features can be avoided or used,
and
the building can be set into the ground
using earth sheltering techniques.
Principles of Climatic Architecture in
Tropical Climate
Passive solar design techniques (cont.);
Building properties
The shape (and consequently the surface
area) of the building can be controlled to
reduce the heating or cooling
requirement, and
the use of materials properties to reflect,
absorb, or transmit energy (for example
using visible color) is also a
consideration.
Principles of Climatic Architecture in
Tropical Climate
Passive solar design techniques (cont.);
External environment
Energy-efficient landscaping materials,
including the use of trees and plants can
be selected to reflect or absorb heat,
create summer shading (particularly in
the case of deciduous (temporary)
plants), and create shelter from the wind.

Principles of Climatic Architecture in
Tropical Climate
2. Active solar
Is a term referring to those technologies
that can be employed
to convert solar energy into usable heat,
to cause air-movement for ventilation or
cooling,
or to store the heat for future use,
The use of electrical or mechanical
equipment, such as pumps and fans, to
facilitate this.

Conclusion
Passive solar systems rules of thumb:-
The building should be elongated on an north-
south axis.
The building's elongated face should not receive
direct sunlight between the hours of 9:00 A.M. and
3:00 P.M. to prevent direct heat radiation from the
sun.
Interior spaces requiring the most light during day
time - to receive most natural lighting and natural
ventilation -the spaces should be located along the
parameter wall of the building.
Less used spaces should be located in the middle
of the building.
An open floor plan optimizes passive system
operation.
Use shading to prevent direct sun radiation
entering the interior.
