Build your basic understanding about HPCBs. Get to know the terms most commonly used by building professionals when they discuss about a HPCB.
Hot and Dry
In hot and dry climate, it is imperative to control solar radiation and movement of hot winds. The building design criteria should thus, provide appropriate shading, reduce exposed area, and increase thermal capacity.
Temperate
Temperate climate requires a building design which would reduce heat
gain by providing shading, and promote heat loss by ventilation.
Composite
The building design criteria for a composite climate are more or
less the same as for hot and dry climate (appropriate shading, reduced
exposed area, and increased thermal capacity) except that maximizing
cross ventilation is desirable in the monsoon period.
Cold
Cold climate requires buildings to have appropriate insulation and
infiltration to resist heat loss, and promote heat gain by directly
admitting and trapping solar radiation within the living space.
Laying the roadmap for establishing green buildings in India, eminent building professionals from the government and the industry will discuss the prospects of high performance commercial buildings in the country at an international workshop to be held on 4 February 2010. Low-energy design and cooling strategies for commercial buildings will also be presented on this occasion.
The 2nd international workshop under the project ,”High Performance commercial buildings in India” was hosted in New Delhi as a special event during the Delhi Sustainable Development Summit...
First international workshop to disseminate
the initial project results amongst APP partner countries and building
industry stakeholders in India was organized on 10th April, 2009.
