Abstract

Thermal comfort is an essential element in the learning process. Nasima Elementary School Semarang was built in a densely populated area. To meet space requirements, development prioritizes land efficiency. It results in a difference in thermal comfort in the classroom. Data of air, humidity, temperature, and radiation is collected and analyzed to determine the effect of building orientation and facade design on thermal comfort in the classroom compared to Mom-Weisebron comfort parameters. The study found that many classrooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors do not fit into the Mom-Weisebron standard. The average effective room temperature on the 2nd Floor is higher than on the 3rd Floor. It is due to differences in elevation, differences in the design of the building facades and environmental conditions. The movement of air in the room needs to be increased. A fan can be applied so that the effective temperature of the room is included in the criteria for optimal comfort according to Mom-Wiesebron standards. If the application of a fan has not been able to lower the effective temperature so that it is categorized as optimal comfort according to Mom-Weiseborn standards, then AC needs to be used.
