Thermal performance of residential structure with respect to climate change: case -tropical climate.

Resumo

Research paper expresses analysis of current research involving a definite Urban expansion project for Mumbai city. The developers-builders enquired for technically supported information relating to the future microclimatic transformations in the growth area and their probabilities for the thermal behaviors of the proposed building. To deal with this inquiry, the structure’s thermal behaviors were calculated by using simulation techniques for the current and proposed climatic conditions i.e. extreme climatic conditions. Thereby, substitute structures design (exclusively, a range of façade design alternatives) were well thought-out in vision of their mitigation efficiency vis-à-vis environmental changes projections. The outcome helps in providing capable assessment of such structure design features.
