Climatic Classification for Building Design in India

摘要

A study on climatic data for nearly 225 stations spread over the whole country has been carried out to determine climatic zones which may meet common basic design features in buildings and requirements of heat flow computations. The country is categorised in four major types of climates viz, hot-dry, warm-humid, temperate and cold and a sub-group #x201C;Composite#x201D;. The greater part of the country falls under composite followed by warm#x2014;humid zone.
