SUSTAINABLE DESIGN CONCEPTSFOR TROPICAL CLIMATES


TROPICAL CLIMATE

TROPICAL CLIMATE

TROPICAL CLIMATE CONSISTENT ‐WARM ‐ HUMID

A tropical climate is a climate in the tropical region. In the Köppen climate classification it is a non‐arid climate in which all twelve months have mean temperatures of at least 18 °C (64 °F). Unlike the extra‐tropics, where there are strong variations in day length and temperature, with season, tropical temperature remains relatively constant throughout the year and seasonal variations are dominated by precipitation.

TROPICAL CLIMATE

TROPICAL ZONES NEAR EQUATOR + AXIAL TILT

The tropics is a region of the Earth surrounding the Equator. It is limited in latitude by the Tropic of Cancer in the northern hemisphere at 23°26′14.3″ (or 23.4373°) N and the Tropic of Capricorn in the southern hemisphere at 23°26′14.3″ (or 23.4373°) S; these latitudes correspond to the axial tilt of the Earth. The tropics are also referred to as the tropical zone and the torrid zone.

WHY DO WE NEED SUSTAINABLE DESIGN CONCEPTS ?

BENEFITS

IMPROVED BUILDING QUALITY

LONGER OBJECT LIFETIME

LESS MAINTENANCE

LESS HEADACHES

HIGHER USER COMFORT

INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

REDUCED CARBON FOOTPRINT

COST SAVINGS

=SUSTAINABLE INVESTMENT WITH MORE ATTRACTIVE ROI (RETURN OF INVESTMENT)

ENERGY DEMAND GROWING – SUPPLY LIMITED

“ ... Thai energy demands to double in 25 years ... “ (THE NATION, 23.2.2013)



... WE BETTER DON‘T WAST TIME & ENERGY, BUT MAKE BEST USE OF IT !!!
