Abstract

Discussing about passive cooling buildings cannot be separated from discussing thermal comfort, especially in tropical climates. Natural Ventilation is one of an answer to the energy conservation issues. NV can also help to achieve thermal comfort in a building. This study examines how air velocity affects indoor thermal comfort in a building model with dimensions 2.5 m x 2.5 m that uses natural ventilation. The research was conducted by taking 100 indoor air velocity (m/s) data and temperature (°C) from the two hot-wire anemometer (KRISBOW KW0600653 and LUTRON AM-4234SD) instruments with an interval of 5 minutes for each data. The data statistically analyzed by using linear regression modelling of SPSS 24 version software. The 100 data obtained, for indoor air velocity readings, the two brands have correlation of 75%, while for temperature readings is 92.6%. The building didn’t achieve the thermal comfort because of ventilations location. The purpose of this research is to prove that without natural ventilation especially the air velocity, thermal comfort can’t be achieved by using LUTRON AM-4234SD hot-wire anemometer and want to validate the reading values to KRISBOW KW0600653 or vice versa more easily with the equations found in this paper.
