Principles of Planning
Bed room should be planned in such a way that the BR should face the
east in places having cold climate since we like sunshine to enter in
to our house.
Depending on direction of the breeze BR to be designed. For ex if
direction of breeze is south west BR should face west, southwest or
northwest as these are used after evenings.
Kitchen should be planned in such a way that the main window face
eastwards and others to north.
Living room should have one opening towards the north and other towards the
east to make the room more comfortable throughout the day.
Building components :
The nature of a building envelope determines the amount of
radiation and wind that will enter the building. It consists of
the following elements:
(A) Roof
(B) Walls
(C) Ground-based floor
(D) Fenestrations
(E) External color and texture
The heat gain through each element can be
varied by:
area of the element
orientation and tilt of the element
material properties
finishes
control of incoming
solar radiation
(A) Roof
The roof of a building receives a significant amount of solar
radiation. Thus, its design and construction play an
important role in modifying the heat flow, day lighting and
ventilation
The code recommends that the heat gain through roofs may be
reduced by the following methods:
Also, a small inlet and large outlet increases the velocity and distribution
of airflow through the room.
