○​ Heating degree hours (below 15°C): Limited to winter nights
●​ Main Thermal Comfort Challenges:
○​ Summer: High daytime temperatures, low humidity, high solar gains
○​ Winter: Cold nights but generally mild days
4. Psychrometric Chart Analysis
●​ Weather Data Plotted on Psychrometric Chart (8760 hours)

●​ Identified Passive Strategies for Comfort:


○​ Evaporative Cooling: Effective in dry summer conditions
○​ Shading & Orientation: Critical to reduce heat gains
○​ Natural Ventilation: Beneficial during evenings and early mornings
○​ Thermal Mass & Insulation: Helps regulate indoor temperatures

5. Conclusions for Design Directions


●​ Summer Design Strategies:
○​ Maximize shading using overhangs, louvers, and vegetation
○​ Incorporate high thermal mass materials to delay heat gain
○​ Use courtyards and water bodies for evaporative cooling
○​ Design for cross-ventilation and stack effect cooling
●​ Winter Design Strategies:
○​ Optimize solar gains with south-facing windows
○​ Use thermal mass to retain heat during cold nights
○​ Insulate building envelope to reduce heat loss
●​ Year-Round Strategies:
○​ Optimize building orientation to minimize heat gain in summer and maximize in
winter
○​ Use light-colored reflective surfaces to reduce heat absorption
○​ Implement passive downdraft evaporative cooling (PDEC) for cooling
○​ Adopt adaptive thermal comfort approaches to reduce reliance on active
cooling
