[en] A building must be energy-efficient and provide comfortable indoor environment to the residents. The Building Energy Code of Pakistan (BECP) only focuses on commercial buildings. In today’s scenario a standard must include the context and climate considerations. The aim of this study is to improve indoor thermal comfort of free-running houses in Quetta, Pakistan and raise the awareness of builders about climate sensitivity.
