Climate • Hot dry summers • Moderately cool winters • Annual sunshine: 85% • Diurnal temperature swings are very large • Annual Precipitation: 7 in. • April-June are driest • August is wettest (1 in.) http://www.oar.noaa.gov/spotlite/archive/spot_cpas.html
Climate—Design Priorities • Keep hot temperatures out during summer • Protect from summer sun. • Use evaporative cooling in the summer. • Use thermal mass to reduce day-to-night temperature swings during summer. ASU College of Nursing, Phoenix, AZ Smith Group, 2009 http://www.smithgroup.com/?id=1584/
Design Priorities • Keep the heat in and cool temperatures out during the winter. • Let the winter sun in. • Use natural ventilation to cool in spring and fall.
