Comparative Analysis of Thermal Conditions and Comfort Between Modern and Traditional Districts in Hot-Arid Climate: Case Study in Ajman-UAE by Salameh, Muna

“…Moreover, this study made an evaluation and comparison of the outdoor air temperature and thermal comfort between the traditional and modern urban districts to highlight the passive design solutions that increase the thermal effectiveness in the traditional urban fabrics, as some of these passive design solutions can be used to modify the thermal conditions in the modern ones. Additionally, the research output revealed that the traditional urban design has valuable, sustainable strategies, as there was a decrease in the maximum reading for the air temperature for the traditional Ajman heritage district compared to the modern district on the 21st of August - as a reference day- and that improved the thermal comfort in the outdoor open spaces too. …”
