Shaping sustainable design with the Givoni Bioclimatic Chart

How can we in the in the UK take inspiration and influence from other cultures and climatic conditions? As the world continues to emphasise sustainable building practices, architects and designers seek new ways to integrate environmental considerations seamlessly into their projects. A useful tool for this purpose is the Givoni Bioclimatic Chart which, based on the climatic zone, informs on the active and passive heating and cooling strategy to achieve the optimal comfort zone for occupants and minimise the use of energy for air conditioning of indoor spaces.
The use of the diagram in the early stages of design guides architects toward building envelope strategies that can reduce the building’s energy consumption by minimising the use of cooling and heating systems, thereby lowering its ecological footprint while simultaneously enhancing the occupants’ well-being.
In this webinar Michela Battaglia, an Engineer based in the UAE, having practiced in both Spain and Italy, explains how to interpret the Givoni diagram and implement its recommendations in a sustainable design
Michela's expertise in bioclimatic architecture, combined with experience in the design of sustainable facades, allows her to offer a unique perspective to developers and architects seeking to improve the sustainability of their projects. with a double specialization in Building and Environmental Systems Engineering (SAPIENZA, Rome), and Advanced Master's program in Sustainable, Bioclimatic and Self-sufficient architecture (ANAS, Asociación Nacional para la ArquitecturaSostenible, Valencia), Michela is well-placed to offer a different perspective to our predominately UK based speakers.
