| Abstract | ||
| Two experimental models are built to investigate the effect of a geometric arrangement of building distribution over populated lands in urban areas; they are traditional and reciprocal models. The experimental results show that the heat transfer and temperature degrees variation is much more active and effectible for reciprocal (chess) arrangement model than traditional arrangement Model. The study indicates that with an 1) initial temperature of 23.3oC for the inner space of the buildings and for cooling process, traditional and reciprocal modes offer 20.9oC and 20.4oC after 70 minutes respectively. Whereas for heating process, traditional and reciprocal models offer 45.8oC and 48.5oC after 70 minutes respectively.2) initial temperature of 39.4oC for the inner space of the buildings and for cooling process, traditional reciprocal models offer 25oC and 21.5oC after 70 minutes respectively. Whereas, for heating process, traditional and reciprocal models offer 46oC and 49oC after 70 minutes respectively. | ||
