This winning entry establishes an evidence-based typology that provides designers with a knowledge base about how to effectively design low-energy, passive architecture in the tropics. It identifies climate-responsive layout strategies and adapts them to be applicable for stacked floor plan layouts in high-density tropical contexts such as Singapore.
Selecting suitable passive design strategies for residential high
Abstract Passive design strategies (PDS) are a fitting solution to reduce the ever-growing energy cost of residential high -rise buildings in tropical regions. However, PDSs' building energy saving potential significantly varies with local climate conditions, but it has been sparsely investigated.
Passive Design Strategies for Tropical Climate Tropical climates are characterized by hot, humid summers, high moisture, and little difference in temperature between day and night. Air movement is an important cooling strategy because the body finds it more difficult to cool itself through sweat in damp surroundings.
The Role of Passive Design Strategies in Sustainable Building ...
In humid tropical climates , where high temperatures, excessive humidity, and intense solar radiation dominate, passive design strategies are essential for achieving thermal comfort and energy ...
Importance of Passive Design Strategies in Tropical Climate In regions like warm tropical climates that are subject to high temperatures and humidity levels all year round, passive design ...
Selecting suitable passive design strategies for residential high
Passive design strategies (PDS) are a fitting solution to reduce the ever-growing energy cost of residential high -rise buildings in tropical regions. However, PDSs' building energy saving potential significantly varies with local climate conditions, but it has been sparsely investigated. Hence, this study investigated the energy-saving efficiency of eight common PDSs integrated into a typical ...
Discover passive cooling techniques for tropical climates and learn how to integrate energy-efficient design strategies into buildings for optimal comfort.
Selecting suitable passive design strategies for residential high
However, the time-varying effectiveness of passive design strategies in responding to future climate change in hot and humid climates are rather limited in the literature.
Careful building orientation and strategically placed openings are vital to maximising these strategies . By embracing these passive , sustainable design principles, we can create buildings that are comfortable for occupants and contribute to a more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly built environment in tropical regions.
