Abstract
Koji Fujii, the professor of Kyoto University, designed a series of experimental houses with climatic control devices and published his papers concerning these climatic design. The objective of this paper is to clarify the theory of the bioclimatic architecture and its design method by Fujii. The most important concept in his theory is to maintain the resident's thermal comfort and health especially in summer. He proposed the following methods and devices '. Induction of vertical air flow by stack effect, cross ventilation under the floor, dividing of air space in the wall, ventilating in the air space, ventilation stack, installation of Hisashi (sun-shading) and En-gawa (veranda), etc. These methods and devices were applied to the residential houses, Chouchikkyo, Senyo-so, etc., designed by Fujii.
