Najafgarh Nala is at a
distance of 4km from the site

The overall micro climate of

the place is affected due to it

 There are hardly any
views from the site,
But the school can be the
only direction in which the
building can be oriented
for views.

Noise is a factor that is

observed from all sides of
the Site

 Plantation around the site
to act as a buffer for Noise

Plantation have been

placed such that they don't
block the prevailing winds
and funnel it towards the
Wind building block

trees spaced
at distance for

 Majority of Fenestration towards the
Prevailing winds from WNW side following sides for good air circulation
Winds from NNW side as well throughout the building

7
 Wind Direction

Wind will be deflected by the

treses to make sure
maximum breeze enters the
building

8
 Drainage Pattern

Water clogging in the center

of the site could be a
problem

To avoid that,
1 Filling and levelling of site
2 Drainage channels to be
+211 placed in a away to avoid
collection of site
+210

Minimum rainfall in the month of December

Maximum rainfall in the month of August

SUN ORIENTATION
Since southwest is responsible for maximum
heat gain hence the orientation of the
building block should not be facing it.
The larger profile of the building will be
responsible for max. Heat gain therefore it
should be oriented in a opposite direction.

For passive solar heating face most of the glass area

south to maximine winter sun exposure but design
overhangs to fully shade in summer

DESIGN INFERENCE FOR HOT AND DRY CLIMATE

Earth shuttering, occupied basement, or earth tubes

reduce heat loads in very hot dry climate because the
earth stays near average annual temperature
Window overhangs or operable sun shades can Traditional passive method to deal with hot windy
reduce or eliminate air condition climate use shaded courtyard with a small fountain or
water body to regulate the microclimate ( wind
regulated microclimate )

“
Use light coloured building material and cool roofs Provide double pane high performance glazing
(with high emissivity) to minimise connected heat (Low-E) on west,north and east but not on south
gain for maximum passive solar gain
