چکیده مقاله
Construction that prioritises profit maximisation often neglects the inclusion of passivetechniques to reduce building energy consumption, leading to heightened environmentalimpacts and a lack of attention to occupant comfort In hot, arid regions like Yazd,designing habitable spaces is particularly challenging during the summer and otherwarm periods The historic architecture of Yazd exemplifies a harmonious relationshipbetween humans and their environment, employing courtyards within its structures toprovide comfort and enhance indoor air quality The configuration of these courtyardsplays a critical role in their effectiveness Thoroughly examining the specific effects ofthese architectural elements could culminate in the realisation of more comfortable andenergy efficient living spaces This research examines different courtyardconfigurations to ascertain their contribution to energy efficiency and thermal comfortenhancement DesignBuilder software is used to assess the optimal courtyard design,taking into account various architectural variables, including size and orientation, tomeasure the efficiency percentage of each proposed prototype The application of themost efficient courtyard could decrease dependence on mechanical air conditioning,thus conserving energy and augmenting indoor air quality Incorporating these insightsinto building regulations may allow for a synthesis of contemporary architecture andtraditional design principles, fostering sustainability and improved living standards inarid climates akin to that of Yazd
