Climate—Bioclimatic Opportunities and Possibilities
Abstract Understanding climatic conditions is crucial for the design of bioclimatic buildings and governs the selection of appropriate design approaches. Together with occupants’ physiological, psychological and cultural demands discussed in the previous chapter, climate defines the boundary conditions under which the building should be designed. Therefore, climatic conditions represent the starting point for any climate adapted design, whereas designers should analytically study the appropriate climatic conditions and in accordance with them propose suitable bioclimatic solutions. During this process, designers should study the macro-, mezzo- and micro-climatic characteristics of the building’s location and select the appropriate influential parameters. In order to be able to conduct such an analysis, some basic knowledge about climate science is crucial. The presented chapter will discuss how and which climatological data to interpret for the purpose of bioclimatic design. The features of four basic generic climate types (i.e. cold, temperate, hot-arid and hot-humid) will be presented by stating the relevant implications for the building design process.
