Abstract

Iraq is one of the countries facing a noticeable rise in temperatures caused by climate change in recent decades. This generated an increased feeling of thermal discomfort among humans. Previous studies submitted many research works in the field of outdoor thermal comfort in cities, but the study of the role of the Iraqi green buildings code in improving outdoor thermal comfort for the residential complex was not adequately addressed, especially at the local level, which was the research problem. The research proposes that the adoption of Iraq Green Buildings code will increase outdoor thermal comfort in residential complexes. The Bismayah residential complex in Baghdad was chosen for this study and tested with ENVI-MET 4.4.2 software. The simulation is based on PMV assessments performed before and after the green building code was implemented. It was found that the implementation of green buildings code improved by increasing the percentage of vegetation, trees and water bodies. Also the change in façade materials to light colours, and the type of pavement materials. had a significant role in increased (PMV) during the day by about two degrees from the model before the change.

伊拉克绿色建筑规范对提高住宅综合体室外热舒适性的影响

伊拉克是近几十年来气候变化导致气温明显上升的国家之一。这增加了人类的热不适感。以往的研究在城市室外热舒适领域进行了大量的研究工作，但对伊拉克绿色建筑规范在改善住宅综合体室外热舒适方面的作用的研究还不够充分，特别是在地方层面，这是研究的问题。研究表明，采用伊拉克绿色建筑规范将提高住宅小区的室外热舒适性。本研究选择巴格达Bismayah住宅区，并使用ENVI-MET 4.4.2软件进行测试。模拟是基于绿色建筑规范实施前后进行的PMV评估。研究发现，通过增加植被、树木和水体的比例，绿色建筑规范的实施得到了改善。此外，立面材料的浅色变化，以及路面材料的类型。与变化前的模型相比，白天的PMV增加了大约两度。

期刊介绍： Asia, as a whole region, faces severe stress on water availability, primarily due to high population density. Many regions of the continent face severe problems of water pollution on local as well as regional scale and these have to be tackled with a pan-Asian approach. However, the available literature on the subject is generally based on research done in Europe and North America. Therefore, there is an urgent and strong need for an Asian journal with its focus on the region and wherein the region specific problems are addressed in an intelligent manner. In Asia, besides water, there are several other issues related to environment, such as; global warming and its impact; intense land/use and shifting pattern of agriculture; issues related to fertilizer applications and pesticide residues in soil and water; and solid and liquid waste management particularly in industrial and urban areas. Asia is also a region with intense mining activities whereby serious environmental problems related to land/use, loss of top soil, water pollution and acid mine drainage are faced by various communities. Essentially, Asians are confronted with environmental problems on many fronts. Many pressing issues in the region interlink various aspects of environmental problems faced by population in this densely habited region in the world. Pollution is one such serious issue for many countries since there are many transnational water bodies that spread the pollutants across the entire region. Water, environment and pollution together constitute a three axial problem that all concerned people in the region would like to focus on.
