Abstract

Buildings must provide users to live in a physically, mentally and climatologically comfortable built environment with the necessary conditions. The similarity of the necessary conditions for providing comfort in hot-dry climatic conditions, which can be seen in different parts of the world, results in similar architectural design features. The requirements for buildings in hot-dry climatic zones are to reduce the rise in indoor air temperature during summer days, keep the indoor air temperature and thermal mass of the building cool during summer nights, and keep the ambient temperature within the comfort temperature value. While passive air-conditioning and heating systems meet these requirements, they also form the building design parameters for hot-dry climatic zones and provide energy conservation.
