The Programming Of Architectural Climate Design

Incorporating climate effects into architecture design is the prerequisite condition for architecture's energy-saving design,and accurate analysis of the effects of climate on architecture is the key of architectural climate design.In China,considerable numbers of architects are raw to the quantitative analysis of the effects of local climate on architecture,partially due to the fact that they are not familiar with climate analysis approaches,or that climate analysis is restricted in application because it is complicated and time-consuming.As a result,the programming realization of architecture climatic analysis is imminent.Data in this paper are the statistics of fundamental climate parameters of the main provincial capitals in the last 30 years(1971-2000).Based on the architectural climate design principles,this paper makes use of the Givoni architecture climatic graph approach to draw climate design graphs for the representative cities,and calculate efficient climate time control respectively,which provides evidences for city partitions, and passive method analysis and strategy analysis.Using passive solar usage index,the paper has done climate partitions and strategy analysis for the representative cities based on their current architecture thermal partitions.Through visualization technology and graphical programming,the design process is realized by using Visual C++6.0 as programming environment and Microsoft Access to build fundamental climate database for main cities,which is simple,straightforward and convenient for users to search climate data of target cities.On the premise of the National architecture standards,architecture climatic design results for representative cities are showed by architecture thermal partitions,and users can search appropriate design strategies by the results.At the same time,to improve legibility,the search system also provides explanation for legends,and for famous ecological architectures and regional architectures in China,which provides consulting and reference for users.
