Application of Passive Cooling Techniques to Improve Indoor Thermal Comfort of Modern Urban Houses in Hot-Humid Climate of Malaysia

高温多湿気候のマレーシアの現代都市住宅を対象とした熱的快適性向上のためのパッシブクーリング手法の適用に関する研究

Doris Hooi Chyee Toe

The aim of this doctoral thesis was to evaluate and propose application of passive cooling techniques to existing terraced houses in Malaysian urban areas for improving the indoor thermal comfort in naturally ventilated condition towards reducing cooling energy use. In the current urban areas of Malaysia, majority (42% as of 2010) of the existing housing units are terraced houses, which are mostly constructed using bricks for their outer walls.

The review in Chapter 2 focused on ventilative cooling. In particular, night ventilation is effective for buildings of high thermal mass and might be useful for the brick terraced houses. The review determined that due to climatic differences and lack of basic field data in hothumid climate, both basic and comprehensive studies would be required to assist application and development of passive cooling techniques for the region. Both field measurement and numerical simulation were conducted in this study.……
