ADAPTIVE COMFORT PADA GRAND STUDIO PROGRAM STUDI ARSITEKTUR FAKULTAS TEKNIK UNIVERSITAS MALIKUSSALEH

Abstract

Grand Studio Program Studi Arsitektur Fakultas Teknik Universitas Malikussaleh (GS-PAFT) was a latest naturally ventilated studio space within the department of Architecture of Universitas Malikussaleh. GS-PAFT was the largest studio which accommodated 60 students with the area of 168.48 m2 and it had been utilized only for one semester. The thermal sensation of the space was uncomfortable both for students and lecturers who had used the studio. This study invenstigated the subjective thermal sensation with an objective measurement of adaptive comfort. The paper was aimed at providing data of thermal sensation, thus, it could guide the department of architecture to solve the thermal comfort problem. This study used computer simulation method with parametric technic using Rhinoceros, Grasshopper, Ladybug & Honeybee. The GS-PAFT was divided into nine zones based on its orientation and the building modular for easier analysis. Simulation was conducted from 08:00 A.M. to 05:00 P.M. which was the time of the space was utilized within the working days. The result showed less than 40% of the time from the whole year was thermally comfortable. The most comfortable and discomfortable zones consecutively were zone 8 (East, no sun exposure) and zone 20 (South West, sun exposed) which revelead 39.23% and 33.53% of thermally comfortable time during the whole year.
