2) AIM: Assume reasonable assumptions for geographic and location details for your project modeling. Based on assumptions and type of structure selected identify the modeling                                 requirements from NBC

 

Introduction: NBC- nashional building code(2005) gives idea of dimension regulation of units 

 

Procedure: 

step 1) open the NBCI 2005(group1) for achiv dimensions value under guidline

            

 

step 2) rule for lighting and ventilation 

           15 LIGHTING AND VENTILATION
          15.1 For requirements regarding lighting and

          ventilation for different uses and occupancies,
reference shall be made to Part 8 ‘Building Services,
Section 1 Lighting and Ventilation’.
15.1.1 Lighting and Ventilation of Rooms
Rooms shall have, for the admission of light and air,
one or more openings, such as windows and ventilators,
opening directly to the external air or into an open
VERANDAH.
15.1.2 Notwithstanding the area of openings obtained
through 15.1, the minimum aggregate area (see Notes
1 to 3) of such openings, excluding doors inclusive of
frames, shall be not less than:
a) one-tenth of the floor area for dry hot climate;
b) one-sixth of the floor area for wet hot
climate;
c) one-eighth of the floor area for intermediate
climate; and
d) one-twelfth of the floor area for cold climate.
NOTES
