The current trend in architectural community is highly focused on sustainable design measures or designing a building which maximizes the utilization of the energy available from natural resources. This paper presents an analytical study on the effect of the climate on the morphology or the form, shape and other parameters of any public building. Discussion focuses on the climate related analysis of the building in the context of the building envelope. The issue of sustainability without consideration of the basic principles of architecture related to climate is put forth initially. Later section deals with the study of variations in various climatic factors present in three prominent climatic zones of India. The main outcome of this analysis is on various types of the form and their behavior under different climatic zones. The two major constraints used to study the morphology were perimeter to area and surface to volume ratios of the building in prominent three climatic zones of India. The present condition on the energy consumption by the buildings in India is considered to analyze the public buildings. A comparative analysis on of buildings present in three prominent climatic zones is done to conclude that climate of particular area has its effect on buildings form, shape, orientation i.e. building morphology.
