| Abstract | The traditional buildings, especially in Mukalla city used local materials that characterized with thermal comfort and natural ventilation, while the urban layout has a compact layout with dense buildings that provides shade. This study is conducted to identify the advantage of using a courtyard with narrow streets in urban layout and its impact to thermal comfort to the traditional buildings. The study applied ECOTECT? and DesignBuilder? as simulation software at several building orientations and onsite experiment using anemometer to measure the air temperature of the building, courtyard and narrow street. This aimed to produce the proper orientation, which explains that the courtyard has more effects than narrow street as a result of its shading percentage. The study found that narrow street and outside courtyard are able to provide lower air temperature due to good shading percentage. However, they give small changes in natural ventilation. But it is important to increase the wind velocity make breezing way for it between courtyard and narrow street. |
