A study of natural ventilation optimization in apartment living room in Pademangan, North Jakarta

Abstract

Pademangan Barat is one of the most populous sub-districts in Pademangan with a density of 26,127 people/km2. The demand for good housing is high and the slump area is growth everywhere in this area. Vertical housing as low consume energy building are the best solution for bad social settlement today. Therefore, this studiesaimed to find out whether vertical housing with natural ventilation can be built in this area. Through analyse of its local climate, spatial planning, and simulations of building orientation, size and position of windows, it is expected to find which orientation is the best for best wind flows annually, the best windows position, type and size, and the best unit plan. This research conduct with computer simulation using x-flows.
