"I'll turn on the electric fan. All the warmest air is up near the ceiling."

The two dominant problems in tropical climate:

i) precipitation; ii) heat; iii) humidity; iv) wind

Which of the following is not a form of Solar Radiation?

High radiant heat in tropical countries makes it important to have materials with resistance to heat flow.

It is measured using hygrometer.

Precipitation is in form of rainfall only.

Topography can affect the microclimate of an area.

Which climate zone is appropriate for this planning and design technique:

seek to balance daily temperature extremes by storing energy, increasing humidity, and diverting desiccating winds.

Which climate zone is appropriate for this planning and design technique:

seek to increase shade, cooling from evaporation, and breezes.

Which climate zone is appropriate for this planning and design technique:

seek to promote shade and evaporative cooling warm periods, and block winds and promote heat gain in cool periods, without disrupting favorable summer wind pattern.

Identify the Climate Zone of countries marked in blue.

Which of the following is not true for Tropical Climate zones?

Which of the following statements is/are not true about Tropical Climate zones:

i. average mean temperature (dbt) 20-30 deg C.

ii. small diurnal temperature change/range

iii. 50% to 100% relative humidity

iv. prevailing amihan (southwest) & habagat (northeast)

Is Tropical Design a significant subject?
