This thesis attempts to investigate systematically the climatebuilt form relationships relevant to the criterion of human physical comfort in an indoor space and express those in convenient forms to be useful in design. The architectural problem under consideration is high density urban housing in a warm-humid climate with particular reference to Dacca. The research involved inquiries into a nu...

the public spaces in our today’s lives involve many sorts of activities, and the design of such spaces requires a wide range of studies. one of the critical studies in our country, due to its climatic variety, is about the thermal comfort of public outdoor spaces. this article has been conducted to investigate about possible architecture and landscape architecture design measurements which coul...

Design and operation of an extended hybrid ventilation system are fully investigated in this study through an example building. Tools of genetic algorithm optimization, computer fluid dynamics and energy simulation are employed to assist the process. The objective is to maximize natural ventilation while maintain good indoor thermal and air quality. The dynamic operation of vents is based on wi...

Abstract Traditional villages contain human beings adapting to the natural environment and spontaneously forming a living in process of their evolution. However, with frequent occurrence harsh weather recent years, livability traditional is also facing challenges. In order improve climatic adaptability villages, scholars have proposed many methods, but there lack research on spatial microclimat...

One of the most important methods of saving energy and providing indoor comfort conditions of buildings is the careful design of the façades. A “double skin glass façade” is optimally one of the best options that control the heat interaction between indoor and outdoor spaces. Two kinds of heating energy is usually transmitted through exterior envelope “conduction” and “radiation”. Double skin g...
