Analysis of Methods of Creating Microc-Limate for Waterfront Residential Areas in Tropics of South Asia

Abstract:

To ensure the low-carbon and ecological development of the residential areas, the coordinating climate planning must be done in earlier stage of design, and such design is even more important especially in tropics of South Asia. In order to create a good living environment and improve the quality of life, this paper is intended to create the microclimate in residential areas by guiding the predominant wind direction in residential areas, guiding the wind above water into the space of residential areas and optimizing the arrangement of plants and other aspects through the layout form of buildings under the condition of reducing energy consumption, to reduce radiant heat and meet the comfort of living in the residential areas, thus conducive to the study of design of comprehensive low-carbon residential areas.
