Overview

Investigative study examines the impact of building orientation on thermal comfort in housing, suggesting design improvements for energy efficiency.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate how building orientation affects thermal comfort in residential housing in Palapa Village.
  • Quantitative analysis of 53 residential samples
  • Assessment of solar exposure on indoor thermal conditions
  • Use of diurnal simulation settings to analyze airflow patterns
  • Northern orientation significantly reduces heat load from noon to evening
  • Enhanced thermal performance in northern orientation compared to western and southern orientations
  • Airflow patterns and ventilation efficacy are influenced by building orientation
  • Surface temperature remains consistent across different orientations
