Abstract :
[en] This report is a part of the PhD project entitled “Methodology for the design of climate responsive
houses for optimized thermal comfort in Quetta, Pakistan” being carried out at University of Liège, Belgium. The aim of the project is to improve indoor thermal comfort of free running houses in Quetta and raise the awareness of builders about climate sensitivity. The present findings are based on the housing survey and the available literature regarding housing and existing infrastructure of energy, water & waste systems in Quetta, Pakistan. We aim to provide the readers with insights and perspectives on housing construction, conditions and characteristics in Quetta, Pakistan and an overview of existing infrastructure regarding energy, water & waste systems.
