POE of Bioclimatic Design Building towards Promoting Sustainable Living
TL;DR: In this paper, 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, particularly natural ventilation and daylighting.
Impact of Heat Exchange on Building Envelope in the Hot Climates
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the building envelope role in heat exchange and its characteristics and energy conservation in hot climates and discussed the envelope's response to climatic conditions, which is a major determinant of the amount of energy required to maintain thermal comfort of the inner environment.

Passive solar heating through glazing: The limits and potential for climate change mitigation in the European building stock
Raphaël Ménard,Jean Souviron +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the potential for passive solar heating in Europe according to the energy performance of glazing and show that the potential is significant but only as long as each architectural situation is analyzed according to its specific context and function.

Modifying the Outdoor Temperature around Single-Family Residences: The Influence of Landscaping☆
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of vegetation in modifying outdoor temperature around a single-family house in a hot and humid tropical climate was investigated, and the main findings were that heavily landscape around single family houses can potentially slow heat build-up by shading, evapotranspiration, and wind channelling by as much as 4°C.

Choice of a thermal index for architectural design with climate in Nigeria
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared various thermal indices to determine which one is more reliable in the prediction of thermal stress in the Nigerian climate, including Mahoney scale, Evans scale, the Bioclimatic chart, TSENS and effective temperature.
