The intensity of human activities adversely affects nature, and the environmental surroundings and climate change. As part of the initiatives reducing the adverse impacts, sustainable architecture importance is increasing. Depending on the climate, culture, and lifestyle, the residential buildings in the world have varying architecture. One of the unique architecture is nomadic architecture. For the nations with nomadic culture, transportable housing type is dominantly used. However, in the field of transportable building, there is a lack of research on building physics. This type of residential building challenges more the architectural and engineering design in respect of material and structure selection attached to mandatory characteristics of portability, indoor comfort, the feasibility of energy generation and operation in various sites, and energy efficiency.
The research aims to improve existing yurt in terms of indoor comfort and energy efficiency without sacrificing the key concepts of the yurt and that is compatible with the Mongolian climate. Mongolian context has selected as the base environment as it has one of the most extreme and severe climates in the world. To fulfill the set of objective, as an inception the literary review on the various transportable residential building has performed which has found
v
there are 9 different shapes of yurts used around the globe. On the basis of the 9 types of yurts found, the best shape yurt is identified through the comparative analysis using dynamic thermal simulation method.
The development has conducted within the frame of yurt opening, orientation, structural material, building system. For each of the component, various versions are tested and optimized using simulation tool IDA-ICE 4.8 and the best outcomes are determined in terms of energy efficiency and indoor comfort. Finally, the best versions are combined to form the optimized transportable residential building
WIND BOY: An Exploratory Design of a Wind Driven Modular Facadehttp://pea.lib.pte.hu/handle/pea/175242020-01-14T08:49:30ZWIND BOY: An Exploratory Design of a Wind Driven Modular Facade
For centuries, men have been using the wind, which is a healthy and renewable resource, to
improve the thermal comfort inside their structures. This traditional cooling system that have
been providing relief from daytime heat are usually based on the presence of chimneys (cooling
towers), courtyards, water sprays or associated with natural air movement. However, these
strategies are usually dependent on building design and can sometimes be difficult to transport
from one application to another. This study is an exploratory design of a new and innovative
method for cooling buildings by a simple wind induced façade, which I called the Wind Boy. The
term ―Wind Boy‖ is my homage to a young African boy who, after a terrible drought struck his
village, was able to provide electricity to his Malawian village by harnessing the power of the
wind. A wind driven ventilation façade system that utilize wind as a natural energy to provide
improved air quality inside the buildings is thus been explored in this paper. Subsequently,
numerical analysis using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was also employed to investigate
internal flows inside a space using the proposed Wind Boy. Finally, the model will be analysed to
determine if the façade configuration will provide better thermal comfort. The resulting study
will benefit in the formulation of guidelines for the design of a sustainable building façade in the
future.
