Abstract:Vernacular buildings are well known for their climate-responsive and sustainable behavior. Solar Passive approaches used in them enhance the thermal performance of the interiors. The entire functionality of an interior space is influenced by the thermal comfort of those working in the built area. The current study emphasizes the evaluation of the thermal performance of the old slate-roofed mud houses in the hilly regions of Himachal Pradesh. The field study entails measuring environmental parameters on 35 hous… Show more
