| Abstract: | The importance of energy efficient buildings has assumed great urgency today. In developing countries like India, rising population, increasing standards of living and rapid urbanization result in an increase in building construction activities. The need of energy is also increasing manifold, particularly with the coming up of MNCs & Real Estate developments. Design & planning of buildings and settlements can play a major role to curtail the energy demand and thus can help in achieving the global objective of sustainable development. In India the majority of the areas come under composite climate and our buildings are often designed without taking enough consideration of climate. The methodology adopted involves finding out the physical requirements for a settlement of 5000 population for which energy requirements are to be analyzed. In a study for Delhi region, the orientation of buildings if kept with longer axis as East –West i.e. major façade facing North & South and shorter facades on East & West, the building performs best for thermal comfort. If it is tilted 15 to 20 degree north then it also gets the advantage of air movements. Further having higher building blocks on south side rows, we get the advantage of the shadow on north side blocks by the movement of sun from east to west. |
