Characteristics of Building Envelope that Influence the Value of Operative Temperature on Office Buildings Based on Jakarta Climate Data

Abstract

Architecture is accused of being an energy user and the most significant contributor to global warming, so it is the architect's responsibility to ensure that indoor comfort conditions are achieved with little or no traditional energy. This study focuses on knowing the best Range in building envelope configurations to obtain Operative Temperature comfort values. Simulation methods is used for model this research. Software that b used for this research are EnergyPlus v8.1 and Open Studio plugin version 0.7. The results show that the temperature of operative temperature (Top) does not reach a comfort value of 25 ° C by SNI 03-6572-2001 standards. If the air temperature setting is smaller, the energy consumption of the building will be higher. In the WWR variation, intensity of energy consumption per Ta was reduced by 1 ° C by 3.68 kWh / m2. Then in the variation of SHGC, increase energy consumption value of each Ta is reduced by 1 ° C by 3.44 kWh / m2. While for shading variations, the increase in value is 3.57 kWh / m2.
