Abstract

Temperatures in every Mediterranean city are increasing due to the effects of climate change, with a consequent increase in extreme events. A previous study of French holiday housing designed during the glorious 1930s allowed us to characterize the environmental performance of four additive morphologies. Starting from in situ measurements during a typical summer day and numerical simulations, the goal of this study is to analyze the influence of two calculation methods used in microclimate simulations on the architectural design process. The results are interpreted through the mean radiant temperature and the Physiological Equivalent Temperature, hour by hour in one day, at six different places in a public lane. This work allows us to explore the use of simulation tools for the development of middle-density housing estates to improve outdoor thermal comfort in summertime.
