A passive skylight system is a significant building design element that provides an ideal condition for interior spaces. However, the use of this limited to specific climatic regions because its considerable effect on indoor environment. Malaysia tropical country has favorable natural benefits, such as solar geometry and light, which can brighten interiors throughout year. harnessing benefit affects spaces, especially those in single-story buildings, excessive loads. This study reviews...

Augmented reality (AR) adoption in archeological site museums has attracted growing attention; however, a notable gap remains understanding how personal traits and technological perceptions interact to influence tourists’ choices. To address this gap, study conducted at the Sanxingdui Archeological Site Museum employs Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), widely used framework for analyzing user acceptance of technology, alongside structural equation modeling examine nuanced interplay Readiness...

With the advent of global warming and resulting climate change, many sectors a country’s socio-economic activities have taken several initiatives to reduce environmental destruction without compromising human physiological psychological needs. This includes need for comfortable affordable homes. Over years, design typologies housing evolved from two-bedroom compulsory three-bedroom dwelling in order address cultural separate siblings different sexes rooms. Build up area initial 550 square...

Pitched roof design represents the common system for most tropical houses in Malaysia. Different angles and colours of this deliver various impacts on indoor environment. This study focuses estimating amount heat gain surface temperature obtained from different roofing aspects. The paper hypothesizes that colour technique could change pitched more than materials. research was based simulation analysis applied an actual room size with (0°, 30°, 45° 60°) Malaysian As a result, findings systems...

Vented attic is a design technique that provides better solution to reduce solar heat gains trapped in roof attic. However, its application the tropical climate very rare if not, ignored, especially Malaysian houses. This paper seeks identify, and compare performance of ventilation by single hybrid turbine ventilator for specific volume under both unvented vented conditions. The study was done an actual (10 m3) located Universiti Sains Malaysia. results indicate reduction air temperature...

This work investigates the influence of building form, natural ventilation, and window shading passive strategies on thermal performance comfort three residential forms, namely rectangular, L-shape, U-shape, in hot-dry summer Amman, Jordan. The buildings is studied using indoor air temperature, evaluated according to ASHRAE-55 Fanger's models. buildings' models are designed SketchUp plugin OpenStudio then plugged into EnergyPlus simulator. It obtained that when ventilation devices considered...

Skylight roofing construction isa practical complement to electric lighting even in various climatic conditions. However, a purely energy efficient building that ignores what the environment can contribute, particularly tropical regions, will consume more energy. This problem be found landed houses specifically Malaysia due high impact of solar radiation and length daylight period all year round. The lack understanding potential skylight design is one main challenges. paper aims examine...

Introduction: Window shading is considered one of the most effective passive design approaches that improves indoor thermal performance, minimizing usage HVAC and reducing energy consumption. Purpose study: We aimed to investigate impact external window on performance three existing residential buildings having different forms (rectangular, L-shaped, U-shaped) in hot-dry climate Amman, Jordan. Methods: Three types shading, namely: vertical, horizontal, combined, lengths (0.75 m, 1.00 1.25 m)...

As we spend most of our time in indoor spaces, half the energy consumption buildings is used to improve thermal environment achieve thermally comfortable conditions. However, studies showed that people naturally ventilated have a broader comfort zone. Additionally, hot areas can tolerate higher temperatures. Therefore, this work investigates and evaluates level conditioned buildings. Field measurements were conducted various residential spaces different The calculate operative temperature...

This work presents a simulation study on the impact of natural ventilation thermal performance and comfort residential buildings different forms in hot-dry climate Amman, capital Jordan. Three existing triple-storey with forms, i.e., rectangular, L-shape, U-shape, are taken as case studies. Models similar construction dimensions under investigation designed using OpenStudio plugin SketchUp software. Two rooms within these have been considered for aid EnergyPlus simulator two cases: basic no...

Public markets are normally designed with passive design strategies such as natural ventilation and lighting. Besides, the atrium has become one of architectural features to be in this building. The attracts more visitors due its spacious space. However, issues inadequate ventilation, uncomfortable smell, overheating, uneven daylight distribution might affect condition occupants zone. Therefore, research is study thermal comfort perception public market, especially traders, investigate...

Urban design elements within a city play vital role in stimulating mental mapping personal perception of the city. A comprehensive urban trail has been conducted focusing on centre to study urbanism and planning strategies by government Kelantan make sure functionality its character representation Kota Bharu, Kelanta, recently rebranded as an Islamic City. The incorporation approach, community building ideas towards better have taken into considerations authoriies developing presenting...
