Design with Permaculture
Understanding Climate for Effective Design
This conversation delves into the crucial role of climate in shaping everything from orchard layouts to the placement and insulation of homes. We discuss major climate zones, global atmospheric “engines,” and factors like precipitation, solar radiation, and wind. We also explore how landforms and latitude create microclimates that can be harnessed or mitigated in design. Throughout, the emphasis is on resilience: learning to anticipate extreme conditions, store resources, and make decisions that minimize outside inputs while maximizing local strengths.
