    The document summarizes the design of Degree College and Hill Council Complex buildings in Leh, India. The buildings were designed to address the extreme climate with very cold winters, hot summers, and low precipitation. Key design elements included orienting buildings along a north-south axis for solar exposure, minimizing fenestrations on the north side, adding thick insulated walls, and maximizing natural light where possible. Ventilation was achieved through a connective loop activated by buoyancy without consuming energy.

    Electives Case Study

    INTRODUCTION
    • Leh in Ladakh is a "mountain desert." There is very little
    precipitation and the temperatures vary greatly between
    the day and night and also from summer to winter.
    • The traditional Ladhaki settlement is usually built on
    steep slopes facing southward. This allows good
    insulation during the day.

    • Heavy walls (mud) and a well insulated roof (timber &


    mud) dampen the variations of indoor temperatures.

    • The use of glass and nowadays, trombe- wall is very


    successful as heat can be stored in the building mass
    during the day, to stay warm indoors at night.

    CLIMATE
    The solar radiation is generally intense with a very
    low percentage of diffuse radiation.
    In summer, the temperature reaches 17 – 24 ºC
    during the day and 4 – 11 ºC at night.
    In winter, the values range from -7 to 8 ºC during the
    day and -14 to 0 ºC at night. Winters thus, are
    extremely cold.
    The relative humidity is consistently low ranging from
    about 10 – 50 % and precipitation is generally less
    than 200 mm per year.
    Winds are occasionally intense. The sky is fairly clear
    throughout the year with a cloud cover of less than
    50%.

    SITE
     Located at 3514 m above mean sea level
     Elongated Rectangle with the land sloping towards South
     Characteristic of the cold dry desert condition – large barren lands with no vegetation

    ORIENTATION
    • The Rectangular site is along the north – south direction
    • The structures are oriented in the west – east and north – south
    direction as design requirements
    • Each structure has been treated specifically depending on its
    orientation.
    • All the buildings in the north side of the complex have thick walls to
    minimise heat loss, while the buildings in the south side have been
    Minimum fenestrations on the northern façade of the
    designed to maximise heating and daylight distribution. lecture halls

    FENESTRATION
    • Good insulation and minimum fenestrations to the northern exposure
    minimizes heat loss
    • Double – Glazing helps control heat loss from glazing
    without creating condensation
    • Maximum natural has been tapped where possible

    Natural Lighting

    SITE ENVELOPE
     Situated in the Upper – Himalayan Region
     Snow – capped Mountains on all four sides

    VENTILATION
     Connective loop is coupled with cross ventilation through eastern – western fenestration
     Ventilation is achieved through the connective loop activated by buoyancy
     Consumes zero energy during normal hours of operation
