“…Sunlight enters the courtyard and the interior of the eco-house through a strip of glazing. The area of the strip glazing can be adjusted to achieve a microclimate (Arranz et al , 2018). The courtyard is paved by natural materials, such as local stone slates, ceramic bricks, etc.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this article discusses the design of underground eco-houses using a dome structure of light construction while taking into account the historical experience of the development of the local population. This article considered the traditions of folk architecture and modern sophistication in the creation of energy-efficient eco-houses in foreign countries in the context of architecture and construction of affordable residential homes for the local population.Design/methodology/approachThe research presented in this paper was motivated by the need for developing agro-tourism facilities in hard-to-reach areas of the Silk Road in Southern Kazakhstan causes the construction of eco-houses built using local construction materials. Since ancient times in Southern Kazakhstan and during seasonal migrations in yurts of light construction, people have lived in mud-brick houses deep in the ground. Along with architectural and artistic solutions in building construction, great importance was attached to saving material resources, labour costs and achieving heat stability of residential buildings.FindingsIn the architectural and planning solution of the eco¬-house, progressive directions of construction of agrotechnical structures using renewable energy sources are adopted. Particular importance was given to the choice of the construction site on an elevated area nearby historical monuments and a favourable season for the construction of eco-houses with considering the natural and climatic characteristics of rural areas of Southern Kazakhstan.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper discussed the issues of insulation, ventilation and improving the eco-house microclimate comfort using local building materials. Improving the architectural and artistic expressiveness of the eco-house in terms of the tradition of folk architecture was also explicitly discussed in this paper.Practical implicationsTables with the justification of expediency of construction of economical eco-houses in natural and climatic conditions of Kazakhstan and Central Asia are provided. The results help to improve the energy efficiency of eco-houses in Kazakhstan by using renewable energy sources.Social implicationsSocial benefits are associated with the use of local raw materials. Eco-houses built from traditional building materials can become accessible to a wide range of people and stimulate the development of small businesses. This may be associated with the construction of eco-houses to serve visiting tourists in remote picturesque oases, as well as the manufacture of dome structures, felt products and the preparation of reed panels and so on.Originality/valueThe thermotechnical characteristics of the region's ground energy are given, which can significantly save the cost of heating the eco-house. Solutions for optimal insolation, ventilation of the eco-house are provided, taking into account the natural and climatic conditions of Southern Kazakhstan.

“…These studies involved field measurements (Wahab et al, 2018), surveys (Mori et al, 2020), and computer simulations (Marino et al, 2017;Mousa et al, 2017;Amirkhani et al, 2018;Altun & Kiliç, 2019). One study on energy-saving windows ignored the window type utilised (Bayoumi, 2017), while two studies on natural ventilation in a hot and humid climate focused on defining the perfect window design by various attributions adapted (Hwang & Lee, 2018) and producing a guidance tool for windowmakers focusing on the adaptation procedures related to cost, product quality, and the indoor environment (Arranz et al, 2018).…”

Incorrect implementation of window parameters, such as configuration, position, and size, cause an unpleasant indoor environment. The authors reviewed window performance in a hot and humid climate in this paper. Articles were screened in detail to determine eligibility, compiled, and organised according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) requirements. The articles included in this review concerned natural ventilation and window performance in a hot and humid climate. Keywords or topics were reviewed and focused on indoor environment comfort. The results demonstrated that sliding windows were unfavourable openings that were nevertheless in demand. This review was performed to guide consumers, designers, and the market of the built environment industry.

Archnet-IJAR: International Journal of Architectural Research has recently published an outline article that commemorated a decade of discourse and published research on architecture and urbanism since its inaugural issue of March 2007 and up to March 2017. The article offered a comprehensive coverage of the distinguished status of the journal being one of the top high quality journals. The purpose of the present article is provide reflections on some of what the journal has published since March 2017 and presents thoughts on latest developments including collaborations with academic and professional organizations and the move to Emerald; one of the prestigious global publishers in various areas and disciplines including relevant fields in built environment, place making, and urban planning and design. This will enable deepening and broadening existing relationships with various international research organizations and ensure that Archnet-IJAR remains a key channel for those organizations while meeting its promise for global coverage and presence.
