Local climate conditions are really important when choosing how to build university buildings and what materials to use.
Temperature Extremes: In hot places, we often use materials like concrete that hold heat well. This helps keep buildings cool inside. In colder areas, it’s important to have good insulation. This means using materials like wood or certain composites that keep the heat in.
Precipitation: In places where it rains a lot, buildings need to be made from waterproof materials. They also need sloped roofs to stop water from collecting. In dry areas, we use special coatings that reflect heat to keep buildings cooler.
Wind Loads: For areas with strong winds, buildings need to be built tough. This often means using strong steel frames to make them last longer.
By understanding these local conditions, we can make sure university buildings work well and save energy.
