Abstract

Traditional architecture proves that choosing appropriate values for design parameters considering climatic conditions results in comfortable indoor environments without using excessive energy. Hence, this study aims to investigate the effect of building form and settlement texture on heating and cooling loads by analyzing design parameters of traditional Diyarbakir houses as the representative city of the hot-dry climate zone in Turkey via simulations performed by Design Builder. The thermal performance of building forms, which are generated from traditional architecture, is evaluated within the defined settlement textures and the results present the interaction between building form, settlement texture and energy loads.
