“…Consequently, an open-source weather data file (*.epw file) of a location, was collected from the website of EP [73] and imported to create a specific site climate for the simulation. The validation and effectiveness of the above simulation workflow has been supported by recent studies [48,70]. Furthermore, online cases for different research issues [49] also provided a much more friendly path for students to apply the tools in the teaching program.…”

Following the rapid development and urbanization in China over recent decades, sustainable renovation of urban residences has become an important issue. This study aimed to develop an architectural teaching program integrating the study of local climate, vernacular buildings, climate-responsive design strategies, and simulation tools. A local house in a high-density neighborhood in Guangzhou, China, in a hot-humid climate area was selected for renovation in this teaching program. Investigations of the urban neighborhood development, the construction and climate-responsive characteristics of the vernacular houses, long-term thermal environment characteristics, and sustainable design strategies were conducted before the design project began. The guidelines of Active House combining passive strategies and active technologies were incorporated into the concept design. The students’ works represented their understanding of the characteristics of a hot-humid climate, responsive strategies for the local buildings, preliminary methodologies of micro-climate analysis, and technologies supporting sustainable building design. Thus, this program provided a valuable approach to the appropriate pedagogy for a research-integrated design studio within the context of sustainable architectural education development.

“…Employing a dynamic measurement toolkit, they systematically conducted measurements in both sheltered and non-sheltered intervals, comparing the resulting changes in thermal environments. Their research contributes valuable strategies for the placement and arrangement of green facades to regulate the physical environment of transitional spaces [5][6][7].…”

In the post-epidemic era, there is a growing demand for health-oriented spaces. In moderate climate regions (where the outdoors is warmer in the summer and cooler in the winter, neither to an extreme), external spaces offer a greater potential to create healthy and comfortable environment compared to internal spaces, with extended utilization periods. Transition spaces, a distinctive type of external space, are prevalent in numerous campus architectural designs; however, their utilization remains relatively unexplored. The quality of the physical environment in transition spaces plays a pivotal role in influencing people’s decision to stay or leave. This study, utilizing the office building at Kunming University of Science and Technology (Chenggong Campus) as a case study, focuses on creating a conducive wind environment within the transition space. Employing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation, the study analyzes contributing factors and proposes optimization strategies. The findings aim to serve as a valuable reference for the design of the transition spaces on university campuses in moderate climate regions, aligning with the heightened emphasis on health-conscious spatial planning in the contemporary era.
