dc.description.abstractThis thesis examines the possibilities to provide thermal comfort in Residential Building in hot-dry climate by passive cooling system in Gulbarga (Karnataka). In doing so, it identifies three basic areas to provide thermal comfort by passive cooling method; (1) The construction techniques used for the building envelope. To reduce the heat transfer and provide thermal comfort and reducing the load. (2) By identifying the parameters of climate responsive design in hot-dry climate and the application those parameters in Architectural design. (3) Identifies the locally available method for construction its for thermal comfort, cost effectiveness and environment friendly. The study of traditional vernacular passive design techniques, practice and analyzed through selected care studies and compared to the conventional building to understand under laying principles. Also study of modern passive cooling method used in hot-dry climate. During these days of energy crises it is important that the building is designed in such a manner that minimum energy is needed during usage. In this context proper selection of roof and wall materials and sections. In specific climate is significant to achieve comfortable living and working condition. The requirement for designing thermally comfortable building is minimum flow of solar heat in to the building. Fly-ash is abundantly available from Raichur thermal power plant near Gulbarga. Fly-ash as a building material for manufacturing bricks, mortar and iv concrete. To solve the environmental problem and energy crises. So fly-ash is used as a building material. Thesis arrives at the proposition that the architectural feature in the traditional domestic architecture of Gulbarga, as evident from the case studies, was the result of conscious designing and constructional practice for achieving thermal comfort. In the end it proposes some guide lines, thump rules, to any architect/builder for designing/constructing a better climatic responsive building in hot-dry climate, Gulbarga (Karnataka).en_US
