Site Climate
• A building in the tropics should differed from
one situated in the temperate zone
• Even within a city ; temperature can be as
8C higher in the countryside; 5-10% lower
relative humidity
• Climatic design is based on typical or
normal weather conditions; however, site
climate information is not readily available
and will have to be acquired through
personal observation and local experiences
