“…Only Tang et al (2012Tang et al ( , 2014) simulated a Chinese historical community using a simple current 3D terrain model, and investigated the influence of terrain on historical settlement in two separate chapters, i.e., the CFD wind environment and thermal environment. In their research, only the current status was simulated, with no simulation of the past for the historical community.…”

During the initial developmental stage of historical settlement, residents used the principles of feng shui to locate suitable residence sites to ensure quality of life. Using Huazhai Village in Taiwan as a case study, this study explores the design philosophy of ancient Chinese people through scientific analysis. Research showed that the region was characterized by a windy climate. Therefore, a computational fluid dynamics model was used to simulate the local wind environment and restore the early architectural complex of the village. Compared to the current situation, it was demonstrated that the planning principles of the early buildings gave first priority to site selection. Second, with the village streets acting as a wind corridor, the angle of the streets was well utilized to strengthen outdoor ventilation in summer. Third, according to wind field characteristics at different locations, various opening directions and arrangement modes were applied in different areas to improve the wind field of the living environment. This ancient ecological wisdom provides current designers with a new strategy for living in harmony with nature, which may aid the design of sustainable living environments that adapt to the climate.

“…Sometimes, however, the strong built heritage of a country, like Italy, attracts scientists from abroad [21,22,27,28,33,37,42,44,46,80,88,89,[92][93][94]. As illustrated in Fig.…”

“…Between 2013 and the first half of 2014, research on energy efficiency in historic buildings diversified in terms of content and the types of buildings examined. For example, different methodologies were applied to study urban [39][40][41][42][43], rural [37,[44][45][46], academic [47][48][49] and religious buildings [50][51][52][53][54], both individually and in urban areas [39][40][41][42][43]. Most of these studies focused on reusing heritage buildings and proposed suitable technical solutions for enhancing energy efficiency while maintaining building heritage values.…”

a b s t r a c tIn recent years, energy efficiency and thermal comfort in historic buildings have become high-interest topics among scholars. Research has demonstrated that retrofitting buildings to current energy efficiency and thermal comfort standards is essential for improving sustainability and energy performance and for maintaining built heritage of historic structures. This study is an extensive overview of the literature surrounding this topic. This paper summarizes the different methods and techniques that have been used around the world to achieve performance refurbishments. Articles are organized based on the different building types used as case studies (residential, religious, academic and palace, museums, libraries and theaters, urban areas, and others). The results reveal that residential, religious and museum building types, especially from the last two centuries, have been most often used as case studies. Moreover, Europe, particularly Italy, is leading the research. The aim of this note is to demonstrate the feasibility of maintaining built heritage values of historic buildings while achieving significant improvements in their energy efficiency and thermal comfort.

“…Izan ere, tokiko ingurumen-baldintzen eta eraikinaren eraikuntza-ezaugarrien arteko interakzioa gertatzen da beraren barnean. Barneko giroaren kalitate higrotermikorik egokiena lortzeko eredu unibertsalik ezean, tokian tokiko eredu propio eta berezkoak garatu eta eraiki izan dira eremu klimatiko bakoitzean [1][2][3][4]. Beraz, esan daiteke arkitektura tradizionala arkitektura bioklimatikoaren aitzindaria dela, bai eta tokian tokiko baliabide, material eta tekniken garapenaren isla ere [5][6].…”

Laburpena: Energia-oreka eta -eraginkortasun handiko estrategia pasiboak ditu ezaugarri arkitektura tradizionalak. Izan ere, tokiko ingurumen-baldintzen eta eraikinaren eraikuntza-ezaugarrien arteko interakzioa gertatzen da beraren barnean, eta bi aldagai horien erlazioaren menpe dago barneko giroa. Euskal etxe-eredu tradizionalaren barneko portaera higrotermiko pasiboari aldian-aldian eginiko eraikuntza-egokitzapenek eragindako eboluzioa eta bilakaera aztertzen ditu artikulu honek. Horiek jorratzeko, Lea ibarreko arkitektura tradizionala hautatu da ikerketa-eremutzat. Bizkaiko ekialdeko ibar bat da, klima epel eta hezekoa. Hango baserrien eraikuntza-ezaugarriak, xv. mendean arkitektura-eredu gisa sortuz geroztik, behin eta berriz izan dira eraldatuak, gizarte-bilakaerak eta bestelako eskakizunak tarteko; eraldaketa horiek, bestalde, eraikinon portaera higrotermiko pasiboaren eboluzioa ere ekarri izan dute. Landa-azterketaren ondorioz, lehenik eta behin, lekuko arkitektura tradizionalaren eraikuntza-sistemaren eboluzioaren azterketa egin da eredu adierazgarrienak zehazte aldera; ondoren, eredu horietako Tenperatura Operatiboaren [ºC]
