This book bridges the gap between research and practice in the
area of sustainable design of buildings, exploring the passive
(climate-responsive) design and thermal behavior of buildings and
ways to incorporate these enhancements in architectural and civil
engineering practice. It presents climatic data and its analysis
in a readily usable form and shows ways in which such data can be
used to achieve passive (climate-responsive) and sustainable
building design. The book presents case studies of sustainable
building in each of five climatic zones of India. The book
includes climatic data from 62 cities in India and describes how
it can be synthesized in sustainable building design.

The book can serve as a practical tool or handbook for
architects, engineers, and designers, providing them with an
understanding of the physical phenomena involved and a means for
suitably implementing and applying passive (climate-responsive)
design principles. It also offers a valuable resource for
researchers, students, and policymakers working in the area of
sustainable building design and construction.
