“…The simulation of vernacular dwellings is a developing research field that allows, inter alia, to obtain long-term performance predictions for a validated model, perform sensitivity and parametric analyses for improving overall performance and comfort, and examine climate change resilience and its impact on thermal comfort. In the past years, it has mainly been applied to assess thermal performance and bioclimatic strategies [22,26,[53][54][55]39,[46][47][48][49][50][51][52], thermal comfort [15,17,38,42,20,23,25,29,[32][33][34][35], energy consumption [23,55], illuminance [56], and computational fluid dynamics [57]. This section highlights the key findings stemming from the analysis of the most relevant recently published research on the simulation of vernacular dwellings for thermal performance and comfort analysis, amounting to 26 publications.…”
