Abstract

Seiyun is like any other old Yemeni city; most of the houses in the city and surrounding region were built using traditional materials such as sun dried mud bricks. The sun dried bricks have a better thermal insulation and storage capacity when compared to other modern building materials. However in an attempt to speed up the construction time, concrete is used extensively in this region for new dwellings but it does not have the same thermal properties as the traditional bricks. Given the variations in climate between hot dry summers and cool winters there is a suggestion that the resulting thermal comfort experienced inside the traditional and new house type will vary. Therefore a study into the thermal comfort experienced in dwellings constructed of different types of materials is worthy of an investigation. This case study is based on a questionnaire survey of over 45 households spanning three house construction types carried out both in the hot and cool season.
