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 ...
