In this project, we are required to choose a building and study the basic building design for thermal comfort, then record and analyse existing condition in terms of thermal comfort of the interior which is directly affected by the basic building design. We are also asked to propose a passive design to enhance the thermal comfort of the space. 

​

My group have decided to pick a house/studio located at Seapark, Petaling Jaya, Selangor. Below shows the completed case study including the calculations for the thermal comfort.

REFLECTION

From this project, I have learned how to calculate the heat gain of the building. Other than that, I also learned how sun, thermal mass, ventilation and insulation affect the thermal comfort of the space.
