My deepest gratitude goes to my parents and my sister for their help and support. Their numerous trips to the meteorological office to obtain the climatic data for Goa have made this study meaningful. I would also like to thank my family back home whose encouragement and confidence all throughout has been the force of motivation behind all the long hours of work and study. Special thanks to Dr.Nader Chalfoun from the School of Architecture, my chair advisor whose invaluable input and review has made this study possible. Many hours of careful paraphrasing and technical help have made this thesis possible. I would also like to thank Dr. Ralph Hammann from the School of Architecture and Prof. Ron Stoltz from the School of Landscape Architecture, members of the committee whose valuable inputs and suggestions and their enthusiasm to serve on this committee have made this study very special. 4 DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this thesis to my grandmother, Aji for being a source of inspiration for us all. 5 ABSTRACT The hypothesis of this study is to create a thermally viable microclimate for a residential outdoor space in the hot humid climate of the state of Goa in India with innovative and intelligent use of landscaping materials and shading conditions to control radiation, direct heat, air movements and moisture. This research focuses on the optimization of the performance of outdoor spaces using computer simulations. Outdoor spaces form an important part of houses in the hot-humid region as the humidity levels are high and natural air currents are the best option. A typical house in the tropical region would be defined by three types of spaces- indoor, outdoors and a combination of the indoor and the outdoor consisting of generally of a verandah or a loggia. This thesis focuses on the “indoor- outdoor” spaces where the breezes could be used to cool the space as well as the use of non–radiative materials so as to lower the temperature in the outdoor spaces and restore conditions to the thermal comfort zone. This study is aimed towards the integration of architecture with landscape architecture to achieve thermal comfort for outdoor spaces and to demonstrate how these can be optimized for better comfort for the residential structures in the tropical zone. 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 CLIMATE AND ARCHITECTURE.................................................................. 13 1.1 VERNACULAR AND REGIONAL

    .to support preservation of the West Adams community's architectural heritage and beautification activities, and to educate Los Angeles' citizens and others about cultural heritage and restoration techniques. ." Number 184 Jnne-Jnly 2001 Everything's Coining Up Roses! Rose Madness arrives every Spring in Southern California, where even the smallest gar­ den is often awash in a profusion of beautiful blooms. And these days, you're apt to see old- fashioned and heritage rose varieties alongside tried-and-true modern hybrids, especially in the gardens of historic homes hke our own in West Adams. That's why we've devoted nearly this entire special Annual Gardens issue of the West Adams Heritage Newsletter, and WAHA's an­ nual June Garden Meeting, to the topic of roses. Inside, you'll find articles on English Roses, Heritage Roses, a History of Roses, Web Sites for Rose Lovers, and, for history buffs, a gardening article reprinted from a 1909 journal. WAHA's June Garden Meeting will be held on Sunday, June 24, starting at 2 p.m., at the home and verdant rose garden of Donald Pemrick, 2057 South Harvard Boulevard (south of Washington) in Harvard Heights. Everything is coming up roses at this event. Please bring a cut bloom from your own rose garden (identified by cultivar name, if possible) so we can compare notes on the best petals and scent. WAHA will have vases of water to help your rose keep its cool. And don't forget to review the West Adams homes nominated for their glorious gardens and new paint jobs (the nominees' list is on page 5), for on this day we vote.
