Exploring the Courtyard Microclimate through an Example of Anatolian Seljuk Architecture: The Thirteenth-Century Sahabiye Madrassa in Kayseri
The aim of the study was to investigate the microscale climatic conditions of courtyard buildings constructed by the Seljuk Turks throughout Anatolia in the thirteenth century. The particular focus was on how semi-open spaces, such as iwan and arcades surrounding the courtyard, are used to control daily and seasonal variation in the harsh semi-arid climate. Sahabiye Madrassa, in Kayseri, was used as a case study. Using ENVI-met 3.1, numerical simulations were run on a three-dimensional microclimate model to observe (a) the variations in microclimatic parameters, such as air temperature, incoming short-wave radiation, outgoing long-wave radiation, wind speed, and mean radiant temperature, and (b) how these variations affect comfort indices, such as the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) and Predicted Percentage Dissatisfied (PPD). It was found that the madrassa responds dynamically to variation in external parameters and provides its users with increased levels of comfort, which belies its static and massive appearance.
