The Council of Architecture (CoA), through its Training and Research Centre (TRC), Delhi, is organising a one-day online Capacity Building Programme on “Climate-Responsive Architecture” on 23 October 2026 (Friday). The programme will be conducted from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and aims to enhance participants’ understanding of climate-responsive building design and sustainable architectural practices.
The programme will explore how climatic conditions influence building design, with a focus on building physics, thermal comfort, climate-responsive planning and passive design strategies. It will also examine design approaches suitable for India’s major climatic zones, highlighting the role of building orientation, building envelopes, daylighting and natural ventilation in improving building performance and occupant comfort.
Through climate-responsive case studies and best practices, the programme seeks to familiarise participants with strategies for designing buildings that respond effectively to their local environmental conditions. The initiative aims to promote climate-sensitive architectural solutions that can contribute to energy efficiency, environmental sustainability and improved indoor comfort.
The programme is open to architecture students, teaching faculty, practising architects and professionals from allied fields. Prof. Dr. Rashmi B. Tandon, Deputy Director, CoA-TRC, Delhi, is the convenor, while Ar. Shrutika Joshi, Assistant Director, CoA-TRC, Delhi, is the co-ordinator.
The registration fee is ₹500, and the last date to register is 22 October 2026, by 4:00 PM. The programme will be delivered live online, enabling participants to learn, interact and apply the concepts discussed during the sessions.
By addressing the relationship between climate and the built environment, the programme aims to strengthen professional capacity and encourage the adoption of climate-responsive design principles in contemporary architectural practice.
