Abstract

This study focuses on the design of a university building in Tel Aviv during the 1960's through a combination of building simulation and historical research. The combined methodology was used for tracing the way knowledge in building climatology was implemented by the building's architects during its design, and for assessing the effects of their proclaimed climatic intentions on the building's indoor conditions. The simulation helped to affirm that the main climatic features of the original design - especially the clever massing of the building and the design of its sun protections - had a positive effect on the building's indoor climate.
