摘要

Anthropologic climatic shifts combined with the high levels of urbanization urge the global concerns for climate resilience urban development. In consequence to amplified thermal stress in urban areas, several researches underscore the positive effects of VGS addressing human well-beings and highlight potential benefit for ecological maintenance and reduction of greenhouse gas emission. This study evaluates the impact of green façade courtyard morphologies on thermal comfort in four existing urban frameworks within the Mediterranean climates. The research investigated aiming to achieve optimal comfort levels into open spaces, ensuring adaptation to climate change effects. Adopting a qualitative assessment through simulations, this research utilizes Grasshopper and Ladybug Tools to compare existing urban conditions and refined residential blocks. Ongoing findings provide guidelines for urban planners focusing on mitigation strategies of extreme heat aiming to achieve optimal comfort for urban citizens. By evaluating ecological solutions, this research attempts to con-tribute to the increasing demand for climate resilience designs while maintaining sustainability.
