Bioclimatic Potential—A Way to Determine Climate Adaptability
Abstract For the application of the analytical bioclimatic design method introduced in Chap. 2 a suitable methodological tool, must link climate characteristics to building performance, particularly occupant’s thermal comfort. Bioclimatic potential calculation based on the bioclimatic charts is an example of such a tool. With the use of bioclimatic charts, basic climate data can be correlated with appropriate bioclimatic strategies and corresponding bioclimatic design measures. The result is the evaluation of effectiveness of each individual bioclimatic measure providing indoor thermal comfort on the yearly and/or monthly level. Hence, the calculation of bioclimatic potential represents a starting point on which designers can base their early stage climate adapted building design. However, the results of the conducted analysis are significantly conditioned by the inclusion of the solar radiation impact, as it considerably influences the end result of determined bioclimatic potential. This is of particular interest especially for the heating dominated climates, because it directly outlines the passive solar heating potential. Therefore, the current chapter will present Olgyay’s, Givoni’s and Evans’s bioclimatic charts as well as the necessary process for conducting the bioclimatic potential calculation with the inclusion of solar radiation impact.
