The objectives of this project are:

* To identify and define the principles of heat transfer in relation to building and people

* To understand what is thermal comfort and discuss factors relating to thermal comfort

* To analyze the effect of thermal comfort factors in a person and in a space

* To be able to criticize design of the space in terms of thermal comfort by referring to MS1525 , UBBL, GBI and Green Mark standards.

 

 

Learning Outcomes

 

Upon successful completion of the module, students will be able to:

1. Identify environmental conditions related to site conditions, climate, etc.

2. Explain the effects of the sun on the thermal performance of buildings

3. Explain the effect of insulation, thermal mass and air movement on thermal performance of buildings.

In this project, we analysed DIgi technology operation center which is located in shah alam.

 

What impressed me the most about this building is the wide usage of green wall facade.

 

This passive design is very rare in Malaysia. If most urban buildings incorporated this passive design, the urban heat island effect in the city will be greatly reduced.

 

Also, the  benefits of passive designs not only promote positive impacts  towards our environment, but they too reduce to cost of operation.
