Understanding the
site and climate of a particular project site is fundamental to any
bioclimatic design. Using a combination
of Geographic Information System tools (GIS), one can remotely determine certain
topographical features such as slope, aspect and incident solar
radiation. Parametric mapping can then
be done by determining desired features such as low slope, views and solar
radiation. Such maps are helpful to
identify optimum building location on a site. In addition, climatic
data can be analyzed to assess the best passive design strategies that will
lead to the best human comfort given the particular climate. As such, this helps designers to identify
what strategies offers the best “bang for the buck”. |
