Orientation for indian conditions
• There are three major climatic divisions in
india
• Hot arid zones
• Hot humid zones
• Hilly regions
Hot arid zone
• Hot arid zone :Low humidity, less rain(<100 mm),dry air, strong sunlight,
less vegetation.
• States like Punjab, Rajasthan, plains of U.P , northern and western U.P ,
non coastal AP, eastern part of Maharashtra, Kerala and western part of
Tamilnadu comes under this zone.
Orientation is achieved by
• Walls exposed to sun should be less in numbered
• Non habitable rooms must be planned on west which act as thermal
barriers and save remaining rooms fro sun.
• Light colors should be used
• Shading devices should be provided on sunny sides
• DPC can be avoided
Orientation direction
• Northern India: For Punjab and other areas
east and west direction, facing north
• Central India : ESE(east of south east)and
WNW(west of north west),facing north
• Delhi :Longer sides towards SE and NW ,facing
NE
Hot Humid Zone
• Moderate heat, moist air, high rainfall(>100mm),more vegetation, wind
direction is away from coast for more time
• States like eastern and southern parts part of M.P, Bihar, Assam , Goa,
Karnataka, Kerala, eastern coast of Tamilnadu, and AP.
• Temperature ranges from 25-30 degrees in summer and 10-20 in winter
Orientation is achieved by:
• Providing large windows for good circulation of fresh air and ventilators
for expel of hot air.
• Pitched roofs are desirable as rains are heavy. Asbestos cement sheets
/aluminum sheets/galvanized iron sheets are used as roofing material.
• Thicker walls to be used.
• DPC is a must.
Tropically hilly areas
• Chill weather, moist air, rainfall round the year, snowfall in winter.
• States like Kashmir, hills of Punjab, Assam ,Kerala,himachal
pradesh,uttaranchal,hilly regions of satpura in M.P,goa,maharastra come
under this zone.
Orientation is achieved by
• Pitched roofs are desirable.
• Compact closed plans are desirable.
• Long walls on east and west to receive max heat.
• Dark colours are used
• Room heaters are used during chill weather
• Thicker walls to be used
• Area of ventilation must be 8-15%
Tropical hilly regions
• West coast: SE and NW ,facing SW
• East coast: SE and NW facing NW
• Bengal: E,W facing S
