Application of ARCHIPAK for Development of Passive Solar Energy-Efficient Building in North Cyprus
The climatic data for various regions in North Cyprus have been analysed to obtain physical architectural building design specifications with a view to develop passive solar energy-efficient buildings. A computer program, ARCHIPAK (Architectural Package) [1] is utilised, together with climate data (25 year average) to get “comfort zones”, and “control potential zones”, for four stations representing North Cyprus fairly well, by virtue of their geographical locations. Our main aim is to provide appropriate information on physical architectural pre-design guidelines and choice of strategies to make better use of passive solar energy in urban planning and building design for better indoor “comfort” climate. The use of the control potential zones (CPZ) in building design and their objectives are discussed. Opportunities and limitations of the pre-design guidelines are also discussed.
