The Bidani house is a project that demonstrates a situation where a climate responsive
form and design was achieved in an existing urban situation with a fixed site size and
orientation. Faridabad, located in the ‘composite climate’ zone, has large climatic
swings over the year, i.e. very hot and dry period of almost two and a half months and
a colder period of a shorter duration. The hot dry period is followed by a hot humid,
monsoon period of about two months with intervening periods of milder climate.
Maximum exposure to south-east for living spaces and buffer spaces on south –west to
eliminate heat gains during summer
The site
Located in Faridabad, near New Delhi, this house has been designed and built in the
‘composite climatic context’. The site of about 1000 m2 had a plan area in the ratio of
1:3 with the shorter side facing the road and oriented north
 
Planning in response to climate
The demand on building design was to respond to the extremes:
eliminate(minimize) heat gain in hot dry period, maximize ventilation in hot
humid period from zones/areas designed as heat sinks and maximize heat gain
in the cold period. This has been achieved in this house entirely through the
form and fabric of the building. A courtyard facing and opening onto north-cast
has been designed as a heat sink. The entire house form has been developed
around the courtyard with all the main living spaces wrapping around it and
having maximum south-east orientation that is the ideal exposure for this
context A large volume living space designed as a double height space is
wrapped around the courtyard. Butler spaces Like the toilets and stores are
located on the overheated south-western exposure to eliminate heat gain in
summers.
 Double-height living
space for ventilation and
day lighting.

Diurnal swings in temperature are attenuated by judicious design and

placement of thermal mass, utilizing local stone as the major material of
construction,
The resultant building provides a comfortable environment with the
temperatures humidity, and airflow levels remaining in the comfort zone
during all seasons of the year.

Water bodies with waterfalls
and fountains have been placed
in the central atrium of the
complex for cooling of the
whole complex in the hot and
dry period.
The PEDA building is a series of overlapping floors
at different levels in space floating in a large volume
of air, with interpenetrating large vertical cut-outs.
These vertical cut-outs are integrated with light
wells and solar-activated naturally ventilating,
domical structures. This system of floating slabs
and the interpenetrating vertical cutouts is then
enclosed within the envelope of the building. The
envelope attenuates the outside ambient conditions
and the large volume of air is naturally conditioned
by controlling solar access in response to the
climatic swings, i.e. eliminating it during hot-dry
period and maximizing its penetration in cold
period. The large volume of air is cooled during the
hot period by a wind tower, integrated into the
building design, and in the cold period this volume
of air is heated by solar penetration through the
roof glazing, generating a convective loop
 While thermal performance of the
building is a major parameter of
design, adequate distribution of
daylight within the entire working zone
of the building is a major criterion for
design. This has been achieved through
the domical structures designed above
the light wells, which are evenly
distributed throughout the building.

Unique Shell Roofing on Central
Atrium : The Central atrium of the
complex having main entrance,
reception, water bodies, cafeteria and
sitting place for visitors constructed with
hyperbolic shell roof to admit daylight
without glare and heat coupled with
defused lighting through glass to glass
solar panels.  The roof is supported with
very light weight space frame structure.
Landscape Horticulture: The
space around the building,
inside and outside of boundary
wall and a big lawn in the south
has been designed with trees,
shrubs and grass.  The big trees
along the boundary wall acts as
a curtain to minimize air
pollution, sound pollution and
filter/cool the entry of air
