Jaisalmer Climate Context : Jaisalmer is situated towards the western portion of Thar
desert at latitude 26o54'N and longitude 70o55'E. The climate is
influenced by its position amidst the great Indian desert. The
region experiences arid climate throughout the year. The sur-
rounding region is rocky and barren, relieved by sparse, scrubby
weeds, but no trees. Jaisalmer falls at more extreme end of hot
dry climate, within which can be identified four different sea-
sons, pre-monsoon, monsoon, post-monsoon and winter.

_Pre-monsoon, which is the hottest season, extends from

April to June, with the daytime temperature often exceeding
o o
45 C, cooling down to a minimum of 26 C at night.
_Monsoon arrives in mid-July. The daytime temperature
o
reaches a peak value of around 36 C, and during night time
o
conditions have minimum temperature of around 28 C.
_Post monsoon, starting early to mid September, daily
o o
temperatures range from about 20 C at night to over 35 C in
daytime.
_Winter is extends from December to March, January being the
coldest month. The daytime temperatures for this period peak
o
in middle twenties, dropping to less than 10 C at night.
o Solar radiation is intense throughout the year - 800-950
W/m^2.
o Apart from very short monsoon season, relative humidity is
very low (25-40%), with precipitation generally less than
500mm/year.
o The prevailing wind direction is south westerly but for four
months of the year, November through to February, the wind
blows from North-East.
General strategies for Hot and dry climate :
Climate data analysis :

Pre-monsoon Monsoon

Post-monsoon Winter

Pre-monsoon Evaporative cooling, South-western wind, Shrubs & higher sill to avoid sand

Monsoon South-western wind, Shrubs & higher sill to avoid sand

Post-monsoon North & north-eastern wind, Evaporative cooling

Winter Passive heat gain

Winter Pre-monsoon Monsoon Post-monsoon
 Design overview :
Site is located in a residential area of Jaisalmer.
Traditionally residential layouts of this region are
compact with narrow street to oveshade
eachother.
O Neem trees has been planted on soth side of
site to overcast shadow on south facade.
O Small bushy plants on direction of wind to
avoid sand. And also high sill level on south for
the same reason.
O Hollow mud brick wall for bettar heat
insulation. sunshade and projections are of local
sand stone. Top view
O Ceraamic tiling on roof to better insulate heat
transmissio.
O Walls are painted with ligh yeollow colour to
reduce radiation transmission.
O Central courtyard as wind shaft.
O Pool under staircase on soth western wind
direction for evaporative cooling.
O Bedrroms are north east corner for better
thermal comfort.
O Window shading are designed to avoid direct
solar radiation.

 Annual Water demand and offset :
Average Day Water Demand: ADD = Daily average water demand
Maximum Day Water Demand: MDD = 1.4 x ADD
Peak Hour Water Demand: PHD = 2.3 x ADD
ADD: Average daily water demand = 225 L/capita/day + 10%

Calculation for 2BHK residence:

Considering maximum 5 people as resident.
ADD= 225L x 5 + 10%
= 1125L + 112.5L
= 1237.5L
MDD= 1.4 x 1237.5L
= 1732.5L =1800(Approx)
Annual water demand =1800 x 365 = 657000L

Roof area = 102.24M2 - 10.9M2 = 91.34M2

Considering Total average rainfall in year and roof area 91.3.
So, Annually (0.194 x 91.34) = 17.72 M3
=17720 L water can be collected from rainfall.
Therefor, (17720/657000) x100 = 2.7% water demand can be offset.
