India is famous for its diversity, and is the identified high-risk of climate change. The diversity in climatic zones makes it a challenge in identifying any adaptation measures, as no one-solution would fit all. Climate-change would put the existing habitations to withstand changes in the periodicity, occurrence, and intensity in temperature, humidity, rainfall, and wind, all of which have originally influenced the design of vernacular buildings. Studying building adaptability, in terms of design and material configuration could provide a valid basis to verify the inherent preparedness of a habitation to impending climate-change and in devising active measure to mitigate vulnerability. The main objective here is to formulate a methodology to study adaptability of buildings, focusing on their climate-responsiveness. This would include the design of the building in response to the specific climate, geographic location, and the material configuration defining the building elements. The focus would be on passive and/or naturally ventilated dwellings, with an assessment on current/future demands on energy for maintaining thermal comfort. Besides prospective variations in climate classification in view of climate change, the proposed methodology would attempt to map the climate change repercussions in the physical manifestations and comfort requirements of a building for various climate zones.
