Contemporary theories of sustainability, concerning the natural and built environment, have recently introduced an environmental attitude towards the architectural design that, in turn, affects the practice of conservation and reuse of the existing building stock. This paper presents an environmentally friendly approach towards the conservation of vernacular architecture and it is based on the ...

The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect represents a threat to the well-being of cities. Cities must adapt this phenomenon, prioritizing improvement outdoor environment quality. materials have great impact on quality, energy demand, and citizens’ well-being. Based literature, it can be stated that changing albedo on-site (pavements, facades) is relevant strategy. environmental reflective from buildi...

The dynamic thermal conditions profoundly impact on the quality of physical, cultural, and social experiences in courtyard spaces. This research aims to identify microclimatic dissimilarities between courtyards terms tempering seasonal–diurnal extremes enriching ground-level textures. methodology included field measurements summer-2021 winter-2022 Cambridge, UK; simulations 107 ENVI-met model v...

This research paper reports the process and results of a project to automatically classify historical non-historical buildings using airborne satellite imagery. The case study area is center Yazd, most important site in Iran. New computational scientific methods accessibility images have created more opportunities work on automated architecture feature recognition. Building this, convolutional ...

Many studies have proven that campus green space has healing effects, but there are few evaluation on the effects of a small-scale courtyard landscape high-density campus. This research comprehensively employs method semantic differential (SD method) and perceived restorative scale (PRS) to construct an framework based environmental preference in order quantify capability landscapes. The findin...

Abstract This paper examines how to enhance the indoor environmental quality and thermal comfort in a beauty centre Germany, by implementing courtyard building as natural ventilation method. The method will be discussed literature review apply it using IES VE computer software with different strategies scenarios achieve optimum best scenario. include designing base case scenario, next, HVAC sys...

Many multi-story residential buildings have been built in villages to improve the living quality of rural residents China. Therefore, village morphology has dramatically changed compared past. Since northern China continues suffer from environmental problems, improving ventilation by optimizing is essential for creating a good environment. In this study, 17 models were categorized based on 383 ...
