In this project, we are required to work in a group of six to research on two different building which have been awarded with GBI platinum, gold, or silver by green mark system. The selection of the buildings are from two specific areas which are Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia and Singapore. The research areas of these two buildings include passive design strategies, site analysis on the wind direction and sun path, the average temperature throughout a year etc.
The objective 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 the thermal comfort.
- To analyse 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.
First research report- Solaris, Singapore
Second research report- The Pinnacle, Bandar Sunway, Malaysia
Through this project, I am able to identify environmental conditions that relate to site conditions, climate etc. Beside that, I also learnt how the position of sun affect the building and the related shading strategies and building orientation to solve the rise in the thermal condition in a building. Furthermore, I get to know more passive designs that have been used to achieve thermal comfort instead of the mechanism systems.
