Climate Effect On Building Façade
Spring 2015
Abstract : Building façade is one of an important element of the architecture. It have a significant effect on energy and the comfort of the building users. The façade is affected by the environmental conditions and their designs should take into consideration the climate of the region this research will explain the façade treatment on different region, also the Basic methods for designing high-performance building façade it will explain two case studies that illustrate facade design methods for two different climate conditions.

Every region have it own climatic characteristics that can affect the architecture façade differently, for example In warm areas like middle east region, people avoid the glare and the heat of the sun, as demonstrated by the decreasing size of the windows. On the other hand in north Europe they use glass in Exaggeration way to allow the sun light to inter the building and heat the interior space because of the cold weather of their region (الدميني و حلبوني، …show more content…
The building façade acts as a skin that wraps around the building and affects the internal environment as it interacts with the external one. Building facades is not only about the aesthetic of the building, it’s also perform as the barriers that separate a building’s interior from the external environment. Façades are one of the most significant contributors to the energy budget and the comfort parameters of any building, and their designs and performance are essential factors for sustainable, energy-efficient, high performance buildings. A façade should satisfy the design as well as the functional requirements .The Climate of the area plays a major role in designing the Façade, different design strategies are required for different climatic zones. One of the traditional way to deal with the climate in the Middle East the use of small opining and Mashrabia or (Roshan) to cover the windows. this techniques that characterized the façade in this region were use to prevent the heat to enter the building and to Imprisonment the cool inside the building, also to filter the air from the dust associated with it (Mady,
