Abstract
Campus mosque is the center of Moslem Civitas Academica’s in worshiping/salah. Undip as one of the biggest university had build low energy campus mosque on Tembalang. However, the built mosque might not provide the people demanded during the worshiping. This study was performed by literature review (ASHRAE and tropical building Physic), direct thermal investigation (air temperature, humidity and speed), and worshiper’s satisfaction questionaires. The results were contradiction between worshipper opinions and thermal energy tests.
Highlights
Mosque derived from masjid [1]
Undip mosque has established both of the roof types and extended spaces as the low energy building strategy especially in heat ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC)
The thermal comfort [8,9] is achieved at air temperatures 23.5°C – 26.5°C, relative humidity 35%-75%, and air 0.4 m/s – 1.15 m/s
Summary
Mosque derived from masjid (place of submission) [1]. Mosque is only a place to perform salah, and another worshiping activity such as dzikr, Al Quran tadarus and recitation, religious school, etc [2]. The mosque itself become main part of Islamic activity which facilitated by high-quality architecture building [3]. Undip Mosque has two floors with wide-span roof structure to support low energy system. The wide and high roof structure is tropical architecture character in low energy consumption response [4]. Undip mosque has established both of the roof types and extended spaces as the low energy building strategy especially in heat ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC). Standard on ASHRAE tropical area’s thermal comfort, it can be reached by effective temperature of 23 ̊C - 27 ̊C , humidity of 30%-60%, and air velocity of 0,2 m/s [8]. This research performed literature review (ASHRAE and Satwiko’s tropical building Physic), direct thermal investigation (air temperature, humidity and speed), and worshiper’s satisfaction questionaires. The results were worshipper opinions and numerical thermal condition tests combined to answer “DID WE NEED LOW ENERGY CAMPUS MOSQUE?”
