Outdoor Thermal Comfort: Application of RayMan Tools

Abstract

The UN has issued a policy regarding the achievement of sustainable development goals, among which are to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. One of the contributors to the quality of education is the convenience of buildings as educational facilities. This paper describes thermal comfort analysis in the case study of the LABTEK VII Building on the Bandung Institute of Technology campus divided into 2 cases: the open space in the building’s hallway and the study room in the building. Thermal comfort analysis uses standard thermal comfort analysis tools as a measurement effort. This research was conducted by analysing the indicators of thermal comfort in educational buildings with multiple capacities in temperature, humidity (humidity), and wind speed obtained from Meteoblue and indicators of metabolic rate and clothing of building users. The analysis of these indicators is processed using CBe thermal Comfort and Rayman to produce thermal comfort in the building. This paper presents the highest PET values obtained at 2 pm with PET temperatures reaching 40 ° C, considered a Hot sensation. And in the CBE measurement results, it can be seen that the process of changing indoor temperature from morning to evening is getting higher. From measurements with these two tools, concludes that the thermal comfort at Labtek VII ITB is thermally comfortable.
