Abstract
The climate data information available for architectural design variables is either derived from climatology science or from empirical knowledge domain. From this stand point of view, one can ask: - is it the architectural practice aware of this? This paper is about the most needed information that architects should be aware of whenever climate affects one architectural object, and it is always needed. It is a mater of concern, for architectural design purposes, the recognition of climate elements that should be tackled to avoid unnecessary energy waste and human discomfort in the built environment, this because of both; misleading information available and architects ignorance on the matter. The paper is concerned with the temperature and the humidity as the main climatic elements that affect comfort and energy savings. It is suggested a climate classification based the psychrometric chart to assess those variables. The work is aimed to students and professionals working with the design of the environment for the human comfort and the strategies for energy savings to achieve comfort.
