    <\/a>INTRODUCTION<\/strong>
    \n<\/span>
    \nCombining architectural analysis with climate change scenarios is the need of the hour. <\/span>The <\/span>    buildings and buildings construction sectors combined are responsible<\/span><\/a> for 36% of global final energy consumption and nearly 48% of total direct and indirect GHG emissions. You cannot manage what you did not measure, you cannot predict when you did not model. The initiation of any architectural project is a site analysis – the study of the climatic, geographical, historical, legal, and infrastructural context of the chosen site. The site itself exists on many scales – from the plumbing within the building to the large earthquake-prone tectonic region. It also exists in many time scales; The building has to take into context the history of the site but has to account for the next 50 years. Building Information Models used in a geospatial context can be used to juxtapose the planned design against future predictions and the historical context of a site, for a comprehensive site analysis that is visually compelling. The analysis can also be animated to provide a more logical flow to the time-space scale.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

    Following are two samples of a Building Information Model, which illustrate how different aspects of climate-related modeling can be incorporated in the architectural design analysis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    1. Temperature Predictions: Using Global Climate modeling, and NetCDF data available from various Climate models and project Greenhouse Gas emission models, we can start making site-specific temperature predictions. For an in-depth understanding of <\/span>Future Climate modelling, there is an excellent tutorial here<\/span><\/a>. The animation below shows a BIM for a hypothetical proposed design in the city of Bhopal in India, and how the predictions for future temperature in a GHG emission scenario (RCP 8.5) will affect the site.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
