Özet

This paper studies the climactic performance of the 10 traditional courtyards located in warm-dry climates of Kashan and cold climates of Ardabil based on shading and sunlit coverage. The modelling process comprises two sections: first, a number of numerical simulations are run using Envi-met software to detail the shading and sunlit percentage, PET and PMV in the samples of interest. These numerical models are validated on the basis of the results made available by field observations. Such validation revealed an excellent agreement between the numerical solution and the benchmarking data. Afterwards, GP is used to evolve some equations for predicting PET and PMV using the data points derived from the numerical simulations.
