Remote Sensing ::

 The site seems to be well connected to the

road network.

There are many well connected interlocking
pattern of intra site pathways following the local
contour pattern.

There is thick forest zone between sea line
and the site itself adding a buffer aspect to the
site.
 There is built area to the most of the
surrounding of the site

Most of the built area constitute significantly
to commercial builds like sugar society, Hotel
Eden or Hawaii beach resort
 There are colonies in the site which are meant
for human habitation that can contribute to the
valuable exchange in terms of social and
cultural prospect, so any type of major visual or
physical barrier is to be avoided in design in
that direction.

 Climate
Goa features a tropical monsoon climate under the  Köppen climate classification (is one of the most widely
used climate classification systems). Goa, being in the tropical zone and near the Arabian Sea, has a hot and humid
climate for most of the year. The month of May is the hottest, seeing day temperatures of over 35 °C (95 °F) coupled
with high humidity. The monsoon rains arrive by early June and provide a much needed respite from the heat. Most of
Goa's annual rainfall is received through the monsoons which last till late September.

Soil Type

The types of soil found in Dona Paula ,Panaji

Plinthudulfs

The soils are dark reddish brown in colour with clay subsoil. Large quantities of organic matter contribute to
the high clay content, while low availability of iron is due to fixation.

It has a property of retaining water i.e., it behaves exactly opposite of sandy soil.

Flora

Main trees are coconuts, cashewnuts, arecanuts, banyan, sugarcane and fruits like pineapples, mangos and
bananas.

 INFRENCES

In this climate air conditioning will always be required, but can be greatly reduced
if building design minimizes overheating


Window overhangs (designed for this latitude) or operable sunshades (extend in
summer, retract in winter) can reduce or eliminate air conditioning


Minimize or eliminate west facing glazing to reduce summer and fall afternoon
heat gain


Raising the indoor comfort temperature limit will reduce air conditioning energy
consumption (raise thermostat cooling set point) (see Criteria)


Traditional homes in hot humid climates used lightweight construction with open
able walls and shaded outdoor porches, raised above ground


Good natural ventilation can reduce or eliminate air conditioning in warm
weather, if windows are well shaded and oriented to prevailing breezes


Use plant materials (ivy, bushes, trees) especially northwest to shade the
structure (if summer rains support native plant growth)
 INFRENCES

Traditional homes in warm humid climates used high ceilings and high openable
(French) windows protected by deep overhangs and porches

Locate door and window openings on opposite sides of building to facilitate cross
ventilation, with larger areas facing up-wind if possible

In wet climates well ventilated pitched roofs work well to shed rain and can be
extended to protect entries, outdoor porches, and verandas

If soil is moist, raise building high above ground to minimize dampness and maximize
natural ventilation

To capture natural ventilation, wind direction can be changed up to 45 degrees toward
the building by exterior wing walls and planting

High mass interior surfaces like stone, brick, tile, or slate, feel naturally cool on hot days
and can reduce day-to-night temperature swings

A whole-house fan or natural ventilation can store nighttime ‘cools’ in high mass interior
surfaces, thus reducing or eliminating air conditioning
 INFRENCES


Orient most of the glass to the north, shaded by vertical fins, in very hot
climates, if there are essentially no passive solar needs

On hot days ceiling fans or indoor air motion can make it seem cooler by at least
5 degrees F (2.SC) thus less air conditioning is needed

High Efficiency air conditioner (at least Energy Star) should prove cost effective

Screened porches and patios can provide comfort cooling by ventilation and
prevent insect problems

Keep the building small (right-sized) because excessive floor area wastes heating
and cooling energy

Use light colored building materials and cool roofs (with high emissivity) to
minimize conducted heat gain
