Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of building envelope on the thermal comfort and energy saving for high-rise buildings in hot–humid climate
Seyedehzahra Mirrahimi,Mohd. Farid Mohamed,Lim Chin Haw,Nik Lukman Nik Ibrahim,Wardah Fatimah Mohammad Yusoff,Ardalan Aflaki +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of building envelopes on energy consumption and thermal performance of high-rise buildings in the Malaysian tropical climate was investigated. But, the results of the other studies that establish to the selecting of proper parameters of building envelope to the highrise residential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the microclimatic and human comfort conditions in an urban park in hot and arid regions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated users' thermal comfort in an urban park in Cairo, Egypt during the hot and cold months using subjective surveys and field measurements, which revealed an alteration in human comfort sensation between different landscape zones.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on natural ventilation applications through building façade components and ventilation openings in tropical climates
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of studies on the operation of natural ventilation in buildings is presented, and the most effective architectural elements and techniques in building facades and ventilation openings are identified.

A review on windcatcher for passive cooling and natural ventilation in buildings, Part 1: Indoor air quality and thermal comfort assessment
Fatemeh Jomehzadeh,Payam Nejat,John Kaiser Calautit,Mohd Badruddin Mohd Yusof,Sheikh Ahmad Zaki,Ben Richard Hughes,Muhammad Noor Afiq Witri Muhammad Yazid +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared different theoretical and experimental methods employed by researchers in different case studies to assess the indoor air quality (IAQ) and thermal comfort aspects of windcatchers and found that satisfactory IAQ were generally achieved using the windcatcher.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of sustainable cooling technologies in buildings
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the common practice of implementing passive and active cooling technologies in buildings and compare the electricity consumption and the capital expenditure of these technologies, and highlight that wind towers are prospective alternatives to meet the demand of urban electricity utility along with its contribution to green building.
