Air velocity behavior at courtyards in the tropical climate : case studies of courtyards at IIUM Campus

The paper presents the air velocity measurement at eight courtyards in International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM).At IIUM, the courtyards can be categorized into two different courtyard geometry. The typologies of courtyards analyzed in this paper are the enclosed courtyard and the 'U...
