Building site treatments and design can enhance the microclimate of the building and in turn have profound impact on the indoor thermal comfort of the spaces, taking advantage of the topographical and natural features, adjacent buildings and vegetation for solar obstruction. Good site layout can also take greater advantage of local breezes by the formation of air tunnels and also aid natural ventilation by staggering of the building layout or optimum location within a complex of buildings. Existing of water element and vegetation on the site can also contribute for natural cooling. Proper site planning also can reduce cooling need by optimizing natural solar obstructions and air movement. Certain buildings layouts planning and landscape proper design within a site can enhance natural ventilation and built environment microclimate. This study concerns how suitable siting of the buildings can help providing good comfort conditions within the building as well as reducing energy costs to a large extent.
