In fact, residential and non-residential buildings, become a subject to significant cooling necessities due to the high intensity of heat passing from building external envelope, the rely on mechanical cooling systems to provide best indoor condition was directed to increase the energy consumption. Due to this fact, many designers highlighted the potential influence of courtyards as a natural cooling technique to enhance indoor comfort for building users and consequently minimize space-cooling conditioning. This research investigates the courtyard attributes as a natural cooling technique in tropical climates, to provide indoor thermal condition at single, double and three-story buildings; furthermore, to achieve low energy office buildings in Kuala Lumpur and Johor. The research objectives are to investigate the history of the courtyard in Malaysia, to evaluate indoo...
