Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the climate characteristics of Indonesian regions using an Olgyay Bioclimatic chart, a Givoni–Milne Bioclimatic chart and a Mahoney Table as the pre‐design stage in the development of a passive house design standard for residential house construction in Indonesia. Jakarta was the city chosen for deep analysis, because it represents most of the Indonesian regions in terms of temperature and relative humidity. The Olgyay Bioclimatic chart showed that the climate needs a high wind velocity to counteract the vapor pressure and shading in order to reduce solar gain entering the building. The Givoni–Milne Bioclimatic chart proposed natural ventilation and shading devices, while the Mahoney Table recommends open spaces for protection against hot wind, rooms single‐banked and permanent provision for air movement. The composite size of the opening at body height is better to allow the wind to counter the high levels of humidity and temperature. Heavy walls and roofs are suggested, as well as the provision of protection devices for the high amount of rainfall. Energy simulation was also done to investigate the effectiveness of the passive strategy proposed by the bioclimatic analysis. These results give a contribution as the indispensable basis for the development of a passive house standard in Indonesia.

Summary

Introduction

Indonesia is a tropical country located between 6◦ 080 N–11◦ 150 S and 94◦ 450 –141◦ 050 E. It has only two seasons each year, a dry and a wet season. Data gathered from Green Building Studio (Autodesk) [1] showed that the average and maximum outdoor temperature are 26 ◦ C and 37 ◦ C, respectively, while the average relative humidity ranged between 73% and 100% (Figure 1) [2]. The wind speed varies between 0.3 and 8.6 m/s. Most of the Indonesian regions experience rainfall between 1000 and 4000 mm/year. The climate is generally hot and humid with only a small variation of temperature throughout the year
