The climate of a site as influenced by elevation, aspect, slope or distances from large bodies of water

• Macro climate

• Micro climate

• Meso climate

What are the local factors that influence site climate

• Temperature

• Topography

• Ground surface

• Three-dimensional object

Site climate imply any local deviation from the climate of a larger area

• True

• False

The first task of the designer is to identify the area most suitable for

habitation

• False

• True

The temperature starts increasing with height rather than decreasing. This is called

•  temperature reflection

•  temperature inversion

•  temperature deflection

•  temperature degradation

Three-dimensional objects affecting micro climate includes

• trees, or tree-belts

• buildings

• All the above

• soil layers

Heat exchange at surfaces varies

• between night and day

• with the season, latitude

• by the amount of cloud cover.

• All the above

The climate of a very small or restricted area, especially when this differs from the climate of the surrounding area.

• Micro climate

• Macro climate

• Meso climate

The macro and micro climate has a very important effect ___ of buildings, both in the heating season and in summer

• electrical performance

• environmental performance

• structural performance

• energy performance

Factors affecting macro climate includes

• amount of total solar radiation

• none of the above

• three dimensional objects

• temperature difference
