Thermal Function of Internal Courtyards in Traditional Chinese Shophouses in Malaysia
Abstract This study aims to identify the thermal functions of internal courtyards in traditional Chinese shophouses (CSHs) located in the hot-humid climate of Malaysia with the aim of providing useful passive cooling strategies for modern urban houses. This chapter investigates the detailed thermal environments of the selected two traditional CSHs with different courtyard types to discuss the thermal function of the courtyards. As a result, it was suggested that closed, cross-ventilated courtyards be embedded to achieve indoor thermal comfort and avoid excessive humidity in hot-humid climates. Meanwhile, it was also recommended that a staggered form of courtyard with V-shaped roofs should be designed as a nocturnal cooling source.
