Courtyard as a passive cooling design strategy in Malaysian linked houses / Mohd Riza Ismail
Sixty percent of Malaysians prefer to stay in linked houses for reasons of location, space and aesthetic. Most of these houses are installed with mechanical cooling and air circulating fans for thermal comfort instead of a more passive means. There are less demand for courtyard linked houses althoug...
