Effect of vegetation on outdoor thermal comfort in hot arid regions, a lesson of sustainability from the traditional Ksar of Ain Madhi, Algeria

Regarding the important effects of thermal comfort on residents, especially in hot regions, our study aimed to investigate and determine influence vegetation external conditions Algerian Sahara. In work, we examine determining factors at three points Ksar Ain Madhi by coupling in-situ measurement simulation with Rayman 1.2 software. The measured parameters are air temperature (Ta), relative humidity (HR). simulated global actual radiation (Gact), direct (Sact), surface (Ts), mean radiant (MRT), predicted vote (PMV) physiological equivalent (PET), this work is such a lesson sustainability that should take into account for future urban development arid regions.
