A study of natural ventilation for traditional market at Sumur Batu, Central Jakarta

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to study the application of the concept of natural ventilation in traditional market buildings in Jakarta to improve thermal comfort that can affect the convenience of traditional market users. SumurBatu Market was chosen as the object of research because it is one of the traditional markets that does not appropriate the natural ventilation standards. The results to be achieved are natural ventilation components that pay attention to the building form, building orientation, inlet and outlet sizes and locations, and vegetation as a form of optimizing natural ventilation in the market that can improve the convenience of traditional market users. The step of study are as follows: (1) to study the wind patterns on the site, (2) to study the building forms and openings locations to reach the optimum outcome of natural ventilation, (3) to study the result of simulation from several alternative design that have been made according to natural ventilation standards. The results of the analysis will be applied to the site as a form of redesign of Sumur Batu market.
