Abstract
The courtyard is one of the passive cooling strategies in traditional buildings and is reported to reduce
a building’s heating and cooling energy consumption and decrease the dependence on mechanical heating and
cooling to reach comfort levels. In this paper three critical factors of courtyard design were tested which are
orientation, shape factor and aspect ratio of the courtyard to find their impact on the thermal comfort and energy
demand for heating and cooling purposes were tested in a hot climate. The study used in summer and winter time
using design-builder. The impact was for the square and rectangular courtyards.
