文摘

The study analyses the human thermal comfort of courtyards for Italian climate zones. It focuses on the annual and seasonal effect of height/width on the PET index. It emphasizes the seasonal trend of thermal comfort. High height/width has a stabilizing effect on thermal comfort, especially during summer. The choice of courtyard’s height/width can be linked to specific climatic conditions.
