Abstract
India faces a great number of fatalities from heat waves and power outage disasters from failure to meet the demand. For the effective reduction in mortality risk and peak load, the passive design approach with typical weather data is commonly used. However, the megacity as New Delhi has may create significant spatial variations in weather conditions. Moreover, as the city is rapidly expanding, a single typical weather file hardly represents the whole city. In this study, the impact of weather spatial variations on a thermal mass design is analysed. As results, the UHI effect was the most critical to consider among spatial variations. Moreover, the spatial variations created more difference than the thermal mass design and we could conclude that it is significant to include the spatial considerations into the thermal mass design.
