Sadoun, B I (1992) A modeling methodology for energy-conserving site design. PhD thesis, Ohio State University, USA.
Abstract
This dissertation presents a computerized simulation model that analyzes the energy interactions between built-up sites and patterns of wind flows and solar radiation. The model computes the wind and solar exposure of the various buildings that make up a typical urban site, under alternative climatic conditions, while accounting for sun and wind shadowing impacts among buildings. The methodology for computing sun and wind shadows, and the resulting site energy budget, is presented. The model is applied to assess the energy budget of layouts of the same structures on the same site and an improved site is designed.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
