Abstract
Recordings of air temperature, air humidity, rainfall, wind speed and average number of clear days per month were available from 233 stations in India. The data was averaged over 36 years and analysed in detail for each station. On the basis of this analysis, the 233 locations were used to define six climatic zones. Measured data on solar radiation was limited to global radiation values and was available from only a few stations. Moreover, it was observed that for a clear day, the deviations in the solar radiation intensities at different stations were rather small. Representative locations were assigned to each climatic zone, based on the analysis of the available climatic data, and divided into three categories: Average where the mean temperature of the location is close to the average temperatures of all the locations within the zone. Lower Extreme where the average temperature of the location is close to the minimum average temperatures of all locations in that zone. Upper Extreme where the average temeprature of the location is close to the maximum average temperatures of all locations in that zone. The detailed values of the climatic parameters of each station were arranged in the form of standard graphs

The detailed values of the climatic parameters of each station were arranged in the form of standard graphs and tables, in order to facilitate comparisons between them. A survey of vernacular architecture was undertaken around the representative locations. The 21 examples were selected on the basis of typical climatic design features, and the plans, elevations, construction materials and details were recorded, as well as the topography, built environment, vegetation and other outdoor features. These details along with the respective climatic data are presented. The most significant passive design elements used in the construction of the houses were identified and are listed in each case.
