Title: Analysis of weather data for determining appropriate climate control strategies in architectural design
Abstract: Selected results of a bioclimatic analysis of long-term weather data for 29 US cities are presented. These are expressed in terms of the percentage of total annual hours of passive solar heating and its associated strategies of insulation and infiltration controls, restriction of solar heat gain, natural ventilation, dehumidification, evaporative cooling, and radiative cooling through high mass construction. Ground temperature data are also given as an indication of the initial potential of using the earth as a sink, for cooling.
