The document outlines the climate characteristics of a temperate to subtropical highland climate, influenced by elevation and the Himalayas, with average annual rainfall of 600-800 mm. It highlights the importance of thermal insulation for winter, snow load considerations for roofs, and the need for effective ventilation and humidity control during the monsoon season. Transitional periods in spring and autumn experience mild temperatures and occasional rain, impacting structural design requirements.
