Light, Air, and (No) Sun. Negotiating Illuminance, Ventilation and Insolation Through Architectural Form To Achieve Energy-Efficiency and Comfort in Residential Buildings in Very Hot Climates: Two Case Studies from Muscat, Oman
… . The paper presents two case studies of residential architecture in Muscat, Oman. Through simulations of solar insolation as well as daylight studies, it shows how architectural form can respond to two solar phenomena - heat and light – in such a way that insolation on glazed facades is minimized, while illuminance of …
