Learning from the Heritage Architecture: Developing Natural Ventilation in Compact Urban Form in Hot-Humid Climate: Case Study of Bushehr, Iran
Utilization of natural ventilation is an efficient passive cooling method for reducing energy consumption and surplus buildings humidity to provide physical comfort for occupants in outdoor and indoor spaces especially in hot and humid climates. Compact city is one of the main constructions created in favor of sustainable cities around the world. Furthermore, compact forms usually are not naturally well ventilated. A vernacular urban form, which has been designed before the arrival of mechanical heating and cooling is chosen in Bushehr, Iran as a case study. This urbanism and architecture is consistent with strict climate of the region. Despite being a compact form, it is naturally well ventilated. The methodology adopted for this study is use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis for modeling of selected urban space to obtain the amount of pressure and velocity of airflow in outdoor spaces. This study investigates the form with better function. Consequently, the results reveal the appropriate geometry, proportions, and orientation of masses and open spaces to improve the natural ventilation in compact urban form. The results could be used for designing future projects and improving existing urban forms that located in different places with similar climatic conditions.
