COLD AND SUNNNY

ZONE
INTRODUCTION
 Cold and sunny climate is both chilly and
sunny in this case the air is cold to the point
that the energy from the sun not enough to
warm the place.
 The area which is noun by the cold and sunny air condition is leh
(ladakh)
 Leh is found in Indian
 The area is mountainous, sparsely vegetated, and regarded as a cold
desert.
 There is very little temperature
precipitation which is vary
between day and night
 The settlement is steep slope
and facing southward for the
rezone to gate good insulation
during day time
The Temperature range
 The sun radiation is typically higher and contains relatively diffuse radiation. In summer time
there is higher range
During day from 17 to 24 degree calicos
During night from 4 to 11 degree calicos
 The temperature during winter range
During day from -7 to 8 degree calicos
During night from -14 to 0 degree calicos
As a result winter are bitterly cold.

 In this type of areas the average

highest temperature occurs in august
around 10.0 degree C or 50.1 degree F.
 The lowest average temperature in
the year occur in January, when it is
around -20.6 degree C or -5.0 degree F.
Wind speed
 The wind speed in a cold and sunny climate zone can vary greatly from month to
month.
 In the winter months, wind speeds tend to be higher due to the cold air and the
increased pressure gradient between the cold air and the warmer air.
 In the summer months, wind speeds tend to be lower due to the warmer air and
the decreased pressure gradient.
 January: 8-12 mph
 February: 8-14 mph
 March: 10-15 mph
 April: 10-15 mph
 May: 10-15 mph
 June: 8-12 mph
 July: 6-10 mph
 August: 6-10 mph
 September: 8-12 mph
 October: 8-14 mph
 November: 8-14 mph
 December: 8-12 mph

 Daytime wind speeds in a cold and sunny climate zone can vary greatly depending on
the season.
In the winter, daytime wind speeds can range from 5 to 15 mph,
In the summer, daytime wind speeds can range from 10 to 25
mph.

 Night time wind speeds in a cold and sunny climate zone are typically much lower than
daytime wind speeds.
In the winter, nighttime wind speeds can range from 0 to 5 mph,
In the summer, nighttime wind speeds can range from 5 to
10 mph.
Wind direction
 In summer months the wind is predominantly flow from the west
 In winter months cold wind and blow from the south and the southeast
 In the cold and sunny climate zone, the prevailing wind direction is typically from
the west or northwest.
 during the early morning the lower region get heat first hot air rise and move to the
higher parts those
result in warm wind from the
west during the evening
higher location are cool down
first col winds blow from the
east during night
Humidity level
 The humidity level in a cold and sunny climate
zone can vary greatly depending on the season.
 In the winter, the humidity level is usually low
due to the cold temperatures and dry air.
 In the summer, the humidity level is usually
higher due to the warmer temperatures and
increased evaporation.
 The relative humidity is consistently low range
about 10-50%
Cloud condition
 Amount of rainfall
 In cold and sunny climate zones the annual rainfall is vary in different months
 The least amount of rain fall is occur in October the average in this month is 19mm\0.7 inch.
 The greatest amount of rainfall occur in August with average of 64mm\2.5inch.

 January: 0.5 inches

 February: 0.7 inches
 March: 0.9 inches
 April: 1.2 inches
 May: 1.5 inches
 June: 1.2 inches
 July: 0.9 inches
 August: 2.5 inches
 September: 0.5 inches
 October: 0.7 inches
 November: 0.9 inches
 December: 1.2 inches
Air quality
 The air quality in a cold and sunny climate zone can vary greatly
depending on the region and the season.
 In general, air quality in cold and sunny climates tends to be better
than in other climates due to the lack of air pollution from
industry and vehicles.
 During the winter months, air quality can be affected by the
burning of wood and other fuels for heating, as well as the
presence of dust and pollen.
 During the summer months, air quality can be affected by the
presence of ozone, which is created when sunlight reacts with
pollutants in the air. In addition, air quality can be affected by the
presence of smoke from wildfires and other sources.
Ground condition
 In a cold and sunny climate zone, the ground
condition is typically dry and hard.
 The soil is usually sandy or rocky, and the
temperatures can range from below freezing to
above freezing.
 The ground can be prone to frost heaving, which
can cause damage to plants and structures.
 In addition, the soil can be low in organic matter,
making it difficult for plants to take root and thrive.
Sunshine
 In cold and sunny climate zone
the month with the most daily
hours of sunshine is July. The
average is 10.06hours of sunshine.
The total is 311.91 hours of sunshine
 The month with a few sunshine
is January with average 7.15 hours
and the total is 221.7 hours
 The yearly sunshine of the zone is
around 3200.13 hours the average is around
105.1 hours
Water bodies
 1. Lakes: Great Bear Lake (Canada), Lake Geneva
(Switzerland), Lake Baikal (Russia), Lake Titicaca
(Peru/Bolivia)
 2. Rivers: The Danube (Europe), The Rhine (Europe), The
Volga (Russia), The Colorado (USA)
 3. Oceans: Arctic Ocean, North Atlantic Ocean, South
Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean
 architecture
 In cold and sunny climate region the house are designed to
combat the climate
 Majority of months require passive heating techniques. Except
June and July they are the most comfortable months.
 They construct their wall from mud and the roof from the
timbre and mud which cause the temperature difference
inside and out
 All spaces are oriented toward the south so they receive
natural daylight and the quality of spaces is achieved
 Con…..
 Strategies that help to achieving termal comfort to the building.
 SUN SPACES
Is used to store heat in a space which can

be drawn into the adjoining room

immediately or later when n

 EARTH COUPLING
Is clone on the northern side of
a building to reduce the heat loss
from the building
 Con….
 Heat gain from roof can be maximized by indining it at
angel perpendicular to the angel of the
sun this strategy also used in windows

 Double glazed glass

help in retaining the heat inside and space
 Con….
 Insulation
Can be used on northern walls,roof as well
as flooring to reduce the heat loss from the
building
• A stone plinth can be used as
water proofing
In summer months the west face of building

in winter months the temperature of the

building walls by large amount
