Mixed research tools for thermal comfort studies of medium density mass housing

This paper describes the methodology used in the investigation of thermal comfort studies with the notion that energy efficient design adapted to double-storey terraced houses in Malaysia can increase thermal comfort and decrease energy consumption. The study requires a method of exploring the therm...

Research This paper describes the methodology used in the investigation of thermal comfort studies with the notion that energy efficient design adapted to double-storey terraced houses in Malaysia can increase thermal comfort and decrease energy consumption. The study requires a method of exploring the thermal performance of existing and hypothetical dwellings. Hence, the paper aims to determine that, if from the outset, houses are designed by taking into consideration energy efficient design strategies; in this case, orientation studies and the utilisation of passive design features, the result will be dwellings with lower internal temperatures and thus, lower energy consumption.
