Abstract

The Herodian palaces in Jericho have been a source of research for many scholars for their size, construction, and preservation. Nevertheless, the architecture of these palaces has not yet been analyzed based on the modern knowledge of thermal comfort and design techniques. This paper thus analyzes the first century palaces of Herod the Great in Jericho with this modern knowledge in view.
