Dayasari residential college building was designed with the internal courtyard that allows for numerous implementations of bioclimatic design strategies, especially on daylighting. The field measurement was conducted at eight unoccupied student rooms, selected as samples to represent ten scenarios and orientations that concerned with the level of radiation and penetration of sunlight. This study reveals the contribution of the internal courtyard in the residential college which allows the daylight penetration at the corridor areas and interior of the rooms through the transom over the entrance door, up to ten hours daily. Different amounts of daylight were measured in specific room scenarios to suggest on the most comfortable indoor living space. The recorded mean value for indoor varied from 37 to 286 lux, while in the corridor area 192 to 3,848 lux. However, the use of the large overhangs over the windows, wall openings in the room and trees with large canopy in the landscape setting should critically justify when the adequacy of daylight was drastically reduced in certain rooms.

This paper presents the results of aerodynamical performance research focused on maintaining the thermal comfort and increasing the energy efficiency of a typical social housing unit located in a high-density urban area. Bioclimatic design strategies are used to develop a sustainable and economic technology in existing housing clusters in Mexico City. A full-scale prototype, built on campus facilities, was used to study the flow conditions around the design. All scaled prototypes implement similar criterion. Furthermore, a scaled prototype is evaluated within a low speed wind tunnel installation. Additionally, numerical simulations were performed at transient state based on previous physical measurements and historical local climatic conditions to determine preferable modifications.

The World

Recently, massive urbanization, increasingly denser cities and environmental consciousness are pushing architects to build “green” skyscraper. This paper examines the emergence of a notable type of skyscrapers which depart from purely image-driven structures, and emphasizes functionality and energy efficiency. It argues that breathtaking green design and practical clean technology are merged to give birth to green architectural aesthetics. Upon reviewing over 30 towers from various parts of the world, the paper identifies salient green design strategies that provide new iconicity including: structural efficiencies, renewable energy, façade technology, greeneries, and bioclimatic design. Findings suggest that a dynamic synergy among innovative green design strategies, new architectural languages and exciting aesthetics has constituted a trend that is more likely to prevail in the 21st Century.

Defining and determining climatic zones accurately is crucial to inform the decision making of building designers and planners during early design phases of urban development. Characterizing the climatic zones allows estimation of energy requirements in buildings and develop climate adapted energy polices. Climatic zones can be defined by using the statistical cluster analysis. Data from weather stations can be used after standardization with zero mean and unit variance, to confirm that all variables are weighted equally in the cluster analysis. In this paper, a novel atlas for 19 climatic zones is presented that represent a variety of bioclimatic design strategies and recommendations, for passive design, based on a clustering analysis in Iran. The clustering analysis is based on the statistical analysis of daily temperature and relative humidity from 1995 to 2014. The results visualize 19 different climate zones for Iran and indicate the dominance of passive design strategies. As a result, Iran was divided into eight climatic clusters. The results showed that each of the studied clusters require specific strategies in providing indoor comfort. The outputs of this study shed the light on the importance of up-to-date climate characterization and the effectiveness of climate mapping and recommendations to inform decision makers.

Acoustic Comfort

Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) by using a set of questionnaire was conducted to assess the perception and comfort level required by residents in a college building with the best practice of bioclimatic design strategies. The survey was based on a five-point Likert scale, covering various performance criteria of the building (architectural elements, thermal comfort, indoor air quality, visual comfort, acoustic comfort and landscape features). The positions of the rooms should be highly considered in implementing the improvement measures for increasing the comfort level of the room when this aspect considerably influences the satisfaction and perception levels of respondents.Keywords: bioclimatic design, Likert scale, post- occupancy evaluation (POE), residential college building. eISSN 2398-4295 © 2018.
