Integrating courtyard microclimate in building performance to mitigate extreme urban heat impacts
(Elsevier, 2022)
Extreme heat events are expected to occur more often as a consequence of climate change. This paper quantifies the impact of urban climate on building performance and evaluates the benefits of specific microclimates, ...

Thermal comfort modelling and empirical validation of predicted air temperaturein hot-summer Mediterranean courtyards
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
Courtyards are a passive strategy to improve the energy performance of buildings. However, theaccurate simulation of courtyards’ thermodynamic performance in the early design stage is still chal-lenging, even though there ...

Cross-evaluation of thermal comfort in semi-outdoor spaces according to geometry in Southern Spain
(Elsevier, 2023-05)
Climatic events in Mediterranean cities, such as heat waves, directly affect their inhabitants. As a result, outdoor thermal comfort in urban spaces is gaining increasing research attention because it is associated with ...

Shade and thermal comfort in courtyards: experimental versus simulation results
(MDPI, 2022-11-11)
Outdoor comfort is gaining attention in the design of our cities to face the current context of rising temperatures. Although simulation is required to inform the early design stage of projects considering outdoor space ...

Unravelling the impact of courtyard geometry on cooling energy consumption in buildings
(Elsevier, 2023-06-01)
At present, the energy used for air conditioning in buildings in urban areas accounts for over 36% of total global energy consumption. Energy efficiency has become a critical factor in the urban planning of cities worldwide. ...
