5. Myanmar - Geographic Location 22.0000° N, 96.0000° E tropical monsoon three seasons Rainy Season, Winter Season, Summer Season the weather conditions widely differ from place to place the highland areas such as Northern Myanmar experience cooler temperature - even snow In 3 Major cities – Naypyitaw, Yangon and Mandalay, Hot weather

6. Vernacular Houses and weather adaptations Smaller town and villages – slower development availability of electricity and fresh water Local materials Weather adaptability Original vernacular houses – evolving

7. Vernacular Houses and weather adaptations

8. Yangon - Climate condition Yangon 16.8N, 96E Costal area Temperature, humidity and diurnal range Sunlight availability Comfort zone - period of time in a year Cooling energy

9. Yangon - Passive Design strategies Protect Direct solar radiation – building envelope Increase natural ventilation – rainy season Invite indirect natural lighting Select appropriate materials and insulations Rainwater harvesting Greenery – passive cooling,… Clean energy Integrated approach

10. Yangon - Greenery Balancing the temperature Absorb toxic gas and pollutants from the atmosphere Ground cover – surface water run off Decrease flood potential Maximise greenery

11. Green spaces in Urban infrastructure, Detached house, Multistoried buildings Car parking, driveway paving of households Yangon - Greenery

12. Yangon – Pre - aircon period

16. Current issues on Buildings - Energy Population – Unstable power supply Cooling Load – energy consumption Peak consumption – in summer System of electricity charging Metering – contribute nationals power consumption Way to Control the power consumption by building design

17. Current issues on Buildings - Surface Water Flood Not enough permeable ground cover

18. Current issues on Buildings - Fresh Water Water scarcity Promote Rain water Harvesting Minimize waste in water distributing system and building operation system

19. Current issues on Buildings - Underground Water Tube well issue Underground water extraction Sea water penetration Ground level sinking to be strictly limited before it is too late

20. Current issues on Buildings - Greenery & Air Pollution Density of concrete and breathe spaces in city Pollution in China – Myanmar? Haze from Indonesia Drought, flood, river pollution, forest depletion All connected
