A building in a warm humid climate should be designed above all for

  • A.an airtight envelope with mechanical ventilation
  • B.cross ventilation and shading
  • C.high thermal mass and small openings
  • D.maximum solar gain through south glazing

Answer: B

Air movement is what makes high humidity bearable, and shading keeps the solar gain out, whereas thermal mass has little to work with where the day and night temperatures differ so little. The mass strategy belongs to a hot dry climate.
