Summary of Analysis(Solar Heat Gain)
We use ECOTECT for measuring SOLAR RADIATION.
Beside ECOTECT gives us a unit of W/m2. So every m2 we gate different value of
SOLAR RADIATION.
But here we consider a single room as a single value of radiation by user response,
analysis and Mahoney table
From analysis we come to that bed room 2 is more comfortable than bed room 1`
Veranda is always tolerable
Toilet 1 is more tolerable then toilet 2.

Summary of Analysis(Sky Condition and Natural Light)
We use VELUX day light visualize for measuring day light.
Here VELUX doesn’t consider side surrounding buildings.
Beside VELUX gives us a unit of Cd/m2. So every m2 we gate
different value of light. But here we consider a single room as
a single value of light.
From analysis we come to that bed room 1 is more lighter
than bed room 2
Veranda is always enlighten.
Toilet 1 is moderate then toilet 2.
For comparison we convert value of VELUX as same colour
code as user.

SIMULATED INFORMATION for bedroom 1:
Q= K x A x V
Q= Rate of ventilation air flow
For wind impending at a 45° angle of incidence roughly K= 0.4
A=(2.13 x 1.2)=2.55
V =3km/h= 0.73 m/s
Defining the Q= Rate of ventilation air flow
Data for bedroom 1:
Q = 2.55×.4×.73=.714m3/sec
SIMULATED INFORMATION for bedroom 2:
Q= K x A x V
Q= Rate of ventilation air flow
For wind impending at a 45° angle of incidence roughly K= 0.4
A=(2 X1)=2
V =6km/h= 0.73 m/s
Data for bedroom 2:
Q = 2×.4×.73=.584m3/sec

Wind Flow and Ventilation(Annual):
From this annual report we come to
know that –
1. Maximum wind flow from western
side. 1-32 knots per hour.
2. Medium wind flow from north-west
3. Minimum wind flow from south-
east.

Summary of Analysis(Wind Flow and Ventilation)
We use FLOW DESIGN for measuring wind flow.
Beside FLOW DESIGN gives us a unit of m/s2. So every m2 we
gate different value of wind flow .
From analysis we come to that wind flows better in bed room 1
than bed room 2
Veranda is always well ventilated.
wind flows indirectly from kitchen in winter.
The service zone is not well ventilated
Toilets are well ventilated
We know in summer wind comes from south. But our building
are north-faced. But the south wind from west zone and
reflected with tall buildings and come from north.

Conclusion
THE BUILDING IS NORTH FACED.
THERE IS ROAD BESIDE THE BULDING. WHICH IS NOT COMFORTABLE FOR PRIVACY.
THERE IS DRAIN BESIDE THE BULDING, WHICH HAMPERS THE ENVIROMENT
BEYOND THE BUILDING THERE IS MANY VEGETATION.
AFTER THE ANALYSIS OF THE ASPECTS OF CLIMATIC FACTORS , THE PROJECT WE HAVE
ANALYSIED IS NOT SATISFCATORY. DO NOT SATISFY THE REQUIREMENETS OF COMFORT LEVEL
OF HUMAN BEING.
