Abstract

Considering the fact that the arrangement of the built form and urban morphology have a significant impact on building energy consumption, a favourable adaptation of urban form should be prioritised at an early stage of urban planning and design. However, there are few studies that have focused on urban morphology and microclimate related to heating and cooling energy consumption in the context of the Mediterranean climate with distinctive urban morphology features. This study will explore the interrelationship between the impacts of urban form and microclimate on the energy consumption of buildings in the climatic context of Gaziantep by coupling Envi- met results with the Design-Builder. Three different urban forms were defined as traditional and regular formal urban areas. The aim of the research is to make energy consumption comparisons between traditional and formal urban forms. The results show the influence of urban morphology on the cooling performance of the structure and provide ideas for future planning and building design.
