Title: Thermal comfort in residential buildings in hot-climates –
considering heat islands and climate change adoption

There is a general consensus among the scientific community that global warming is the result of anthropogenic activities (IPCC 2007). One of the factors that intensifies the emission of green house gases is the building sector. About 40% of our society's energy demands stem from buildings (Heller et al, 2015). That is the energy uses for warming and cooling the indoor weather.

The special focus of this research is on hot-dry climate areas that characterized by wide fluctuation of temperatures, daily and seasonal. One of the phenomenon that also strengthen heat stress of these urban areas, is UHI (urban heat island).

Microclimate conditions in the urban environments also differ significantly from rural areas (Gulyás, Unger, & Matzarakis, 2006). As a consequence, an indoor temperature will be relatively higher than the outdoor temperature. Apparently without mechanical system for thermal control, the room conditions can adversely affect to the occupants’ health and productivity.

Thermal comfort can be described as satisfaction of the mind in an environment (Olesen1982). The most common method used to evaluate objectively thermal comfort is Fanger’s PMV-PPD method (Fanger, 1970). In European countries, ISO 7730 (Hoof and Hensen, 2007) is the present standard for thermal comfort, ASHRAE Standard 55 is the current in North America. ASHRAE Standard 55 (ASHRAE, 2010) and ISO 7730 (BSI, 2005) present methods for determining and interpreting thermal comfort based on Franger’s model. In order to adapt to the consequences of UHI (urban heat islands), the vernacular adaptation principles of Iranian architecture need to be studied in detail. The main objective of this survey is to investigate physical energy efficient strategies in Kerman city with hot dry climate to achieve indoor thermal comfort.

Totally, the research method is descriptive – analytical. The overall approach of this research is based on the literature review, qualitative studies such as simulation techniques and measurements. To study and evaluate thermal comfort, simulation technique is used to modeling the building performance of the case studies. An example for such a tool is UMI which is a Rhino based design environment for architects. At last, after discussing the results of the previous analyses, adaptation recommendations will be determined for Iranian hot dry residential buildings.
