BIOLCLIMATIC DESIGN CONCEPT

The centre for renewable energy sources and savings( CRES) state that the reduction of solar energy into the buildings interior can be achieved by simple methods and techniques  using appropriate building design such as (passive Bio-climatic method). It facilitate the use of local climate around a dwelling to construct a green hospital 

Bioclimatic Design addresses:

Site and climatic analysis

Description of internal versus external building loads

Design strategies that reduce or eliminate the need for non-renewable energy resources

How these strategies specifically shaped the building plan, section, and massing

How these strategies specifically affected placement, orientation, and shading of the building

This term refers to the relationship between climate and architecture. It has a long pedigree going back to the work of Le Corbusier with his use in hot climates of ventilating atria, solar screening and thermal mass. Modernism drew inspiration from vernacular climatic practices whether in hot or cold regions. Climate is currently emerging as a new force in sustainable design- whether it be concern over mitigating the affects of climate change or by actively engaging in climate responsive design.

Understanding climate within and around buildings offers the chance to remodel practice and save energy and water.

A key advocate of the approach is Ken Yeang whose architecture in humid hot regions turns climate into a positive force in shaping the plans and sections of buildings and even whole cities. Since climates vary, bioclimatic design provides the basis for a regionally distinctive architecture able to challenge globalization of architecture and its aesthetics.

Central Markets project by Foster and Partners in Abu Dhabi owes a great deal to the bioclimatic design tradition in the Middle East.
