Abstract

The success of any architectural design (particularly a passive system) depends on its ability to deliver thermal comfort to the inhabitants of the building. Hence it becomes very important to be able to quantify the improved indoor comfort conditions. The subject of analysis in this paper is a design entry that we submitted to the ‘Eco-House Design Competition 2004’ that won a special honorary mention. The site is situated in Jaipur, India which has a typical desert climate, hot and dry in the day and cold-dry in the night. The design solution, a high mass courtyard house with an integrated cool tower-wind scoop system, was an architect’s intuitive response to the site and climate conditions. This paper concerns itself with analyzing the performance of the design, examining the improved quality of ‘thermal comfort’ in the indoor living spaces achieved with the high thermal mass and integrated cool tower – wind scoop configuration. To serve this end, a CFD simulation tool was selected as the analysis tool.
