Simulation and Analysis of Thermal Environment and Building Comparing Wetland Conditions in Banjarmasin-Indonesia and Saga-Japan

Abstract

Climate change has actually happened, according to NASA data the surface temperature of the earth has increased significantly. The impact of rising earth surface temperatures causes erratic weather conditions, high rainfall and drought in the summer season. In August 2019, devastating forest fires in Indonesia caused smoke on the islands of Sumatera and Kalimantan. Meanwhile in Japan, flooding occurred in Saga prefecture due to high rainfall for several days. Environmental conditions between Indonesia and Japan are different but experience disasters at the same time. This study examines the real conditions of the thermal environment in Banjarmasin and Saga. The analysis results of the thermal environment and building thermal simulations in the two cities, there are similarities in thermal anomalies that tend to be high or extreme. In addition, thermal measurements are carried out in the summer of August and September. That month is summer conditions with a maximum temperature of 37 C, but in Saga it floods when the Banjarmasin experiences a drought. Building technology and accurate weather predictions from the government has been able to reduce the impact of disasters from climate change.
