摘　　要：This paper presents a comparative study on the thermal comfort of traditional and contemporary houses in Byblos,Lebanon.With climate change affecting indoor environments and potentially leading to increased energy consumption,achieving optimal thermal comfort is a crucial issue for building research.The study analyzes several environmental parameters and conducts an occupancy survey to assess thermal comfort in both types of houses.The questionnaire used in the survey consists of 46 questions divided into three parts:“Who are you?”,“The environment of your house?”,and“Architectural characteristics of the house.”The results show that traditional houses perform better than contemporary ones in terms of thermal comfort,due to their use of natural and passive methods.However,both types of houses have room for improvement in terms of energy efficiency.This study provides insights into potential solutions for improving indoor thermal comfort while reducing energy consumption in traditional and contemporary houses.
