On the other hand, considering the rainy seasons because of tropical climate, the house has double skin facade. Therefore, in each side of the house, there is planned openings to allow wind to penetrate into the house for cooling in hot climate. On the other hand, sometimes, the wind is coming from both east and west because of ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation). Generally, cool trade winds are coming from east (the prevailing wind direction of Tarawa, Kiribati). * In the house unit design and planning their location on water, it is considered to capture and channel existing winds. * Passive solar design (such as passive cooling and ventilation systems - cross ventilation) and active solar mechanisms (such as photovoltaic panels) are used in the house design. * The house model is considered as a self-sufficient unit, nearly zero energy building and sustainable building as well. 5 or 6 meters) with its special foundation system at the same time the sea level increases. Besides, like amphibious houses, this house can also rise to a needed height (approximately max.
*Ĝonsidering these problems, we propose a floating house able to float and maintain its functional floor height above the water surface. Actually, the inhabitants want to find a way to survive in their country, in these beautiful islands despite the climate change. *ěecause of climate change, there is a lack of food, drinkable water and environmental conditions (i.e tides and increasing coastal storms, the rise in sea level) becoming harsher than before in Kiribati.
