Picture labeling.the plan of the main office block of the IREP showing use
of courtyards as micro climate modifier. Also shown is the network of theearth air tunnel system. A 2.5 m wide and 1.2 m high earth berm runs
round the building, which helps in moderating internal temperatures.

A building in composite climate where the room temperatures in summer
are lowerby 6-70 C ,and the winter temperature is raised by about 50 C
than in a conventional building.
The initial requirements were for four lecture theatres of 40 m2 each, a
library, an auditorium (having a capacity of 300 seats), a laboratory and
computer room, administrative offices, and hostel facilities for 50 persons.Further, residential accommodation was provided for employees. Later, a
guesthouse was also included.
Passive solapr concepts : the several measures adopted to reduce the
thermal heat loads in the complex are outlined below.
Controlling penetration of direct solar radiation
The south side is protected by chajjas (overhangs) of appropriate depth,
which prevent the heat of the summer sun from entering, yet allow the
winter radiation to penetrate within. A combination of horizontal and
vertical louvers prevents the heat from the south-east/north-west sun, and
at the same time provides adequate cross ventilation.
Reducing heat conduction through roof and walls
The amount of heat conducted int ot he structure through the building
fabric is dependent on the thermal resistance of the material and its heat
storage capacity. Discomfort is caused by solar radiation, which is absorbed
by the outside surface and transmitted through the roof of walls to the
inside surface. The following steps have been taken to minimize
conduction.
Shading
The complex is built around 3 courtyards with 75% wall area shaded b y
2.1m wide corridors. A further 10% of this is north facing (which is mostly
shaded). Deciduous trees on the periphery of the building along the east
and west orientation provide further shade. Creepers along the east and
west orientation provide further shade. Creepers along the walls add to the
insulation and help in evaporative cooling.
