ABSTRACT

This seminar report consists of bioclimatic approach for passive design of Terai region in
context of Biratnagar. The data for the same is collected from meteorological department for
latest 5 years. From the data, bioclimatic chart is prepared for Biratnagar. From the data of
solar, solar control techniques and strategies are developed which contributes in passive
design strategies. And other passive strategies are proposed for the region to develop passive
cooling as seem required from the bioclimatic chart. As the energy demand has been rising up
in the world, different adaptations are surfacing to minimize the energy demand and reducing
their energy consumption is essential for sustainable development. Passive solar building
design can aid energy conservation efforts because building design is directly related to
energy use. Buildings with passive solar building designs naturally use the sun’s energy for
free of charge heating, cooling and daylighting. This reduces the need to consume energy
from other sources and provides a comfortable indoor environment. The principles of passive
solar design are compatible with diverse architectural styles and can be renovated with
existing building for net zero energy use.
