Abstract
Veranda serves as a shading and heat protection area for homes in hot and humid regions, connecting indoor and outdoor spaces. However, there is limited literature on precise veranda design for climate regulation. This research focuses on the impact of veranda scale and form on thermal protection, aiming to establish design guidelines for a better indoor and veranda thermal environment. Local residential buildings on Hainan Island are analyzed to study veranda types and layouts. Simulation models, based on local meteorological data and Autodesk CFD software, are used to compare and evaluate different veranda scales and forms. Increasing the overhang from 1.5 m to 3.0 m can improve the thermal comfort of the veranda on first floor by 9.3 %. The number of verandas increased from one side to four sides, reducing the APMV values of the first and second level verandas by 0.26 and 0.1, respectively. The study proposes effective design guidelines for verandas in residential buildings, beneficial for sustainable development in hot and humid areas.
期刊介绍:
in Shams Engineering Journal is an international journal devoted to publication of peer reviewed original high-quality research papers and review papers in both traditional topics and those of emerging science and technology. Areas of both theoretical and fundamental interest as well as those concerning industrial applications, emerging instrumental techniques and those which have some practical application to an aspect of human endeavor, such as the preservation of the environment, health, waste disposal are welcome. The overall focus is on original and rigorous scientific research results which have generic significance.
Ain Shams Engineering Journal focuses upon aspects of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, petroleum engineering, environmental engineering, architectural and urban planning engineering. Papers in which knowledge from other disciplines is integrated with engineering are especially welcome like nanotechnology, material sciences, and computational methods as well as applied basic sciences: engineering mathematics, physics and chemistry.
