This was achieved by active ventilation and passive cooling using a chimney which was introduced below the water tank to relieve the hot air trapped inside the building. Additional walls and jali screens insulate the indoor space from harsh sunlight. Furthermore, the fenestration in walls play with light and shadow in addition to providing privacy. Windows have been provided on opposite sides to ensure cross ventilation. Sun breakers have been used to provide diffused sunlight whereas bigger windows are provided towards the north side to bring in diffused light.
