Review and Analysis of Bioclimatic Design Approach

Abstract

The growing awareness of the environment's importance and the impact of climate change has led architects and designers to adopt sustainable building design approaches for enhancing their buildings quality. Bioclimatic design is one such approach that aims to create comfortable and energy-efficient buildings by utilizing natural resources and local climate data. This paper delves into the concept of bioclimatic design in detail highlighting different bioclimatic strategies for residential buildings that help in achieving bioclimatic design goals. The aim of this paper is to provide a systematic review that explores and categorizes the bioclimatic architecture approaches, analysis and assessment methods, and strategies in a clear and concise manner. The methodology employed in this study is a literature review of bioclimatic architectural designs in residential buildings to comprehend their design approaches, analysis and assessment methods, and strategies. This study focuses on bioclimatic design, thermal comfort, and energy efficiency. Future studies on bioclimatic building design should focus on analyzing current strategies in different climate zones, testing new technologies and materials, exploring more strategies suitable for the local climate, and evaluating the integration of bioclimatic design with other sustainable approaches to create efficient and cost-effective buildings.
