Abstract
Bioclimatic architecture is composed of climate-responsive knowledge in vernacular buildings as an effort to create comfortable conditions. This study aims to evaluate the suitability of the application of bioclimatic design to the performance of the thermal environment in one type of Bugis house. The method used is visual assessment and measurement of temperature and humidity in the case studies of Jida and Lammada houses, South Sulawesi. The results of visual observations show the accuracy of the bioclimatic design on the volume and slope elements of the roof; wall type and material; floor height and shade tree layout. The performance of the thermal environment in the living room and bedroom of Lammada house is better than similar rooms at Jida house. The bioclimatic elements that affect the performance of the thermal environment are the volume of the roof, the type and material of the walls and the height of the floor.
Highlights
The crisis of climate change, depletion of the ozone layer, limited energy sources, and increased carbon emissions have awakened the building and construction industry to apply the concept of sustainnable development
Climate responsive design in vernacular buildings is known as bioclimatic or architecture that adapts to the local climate
Lammada house is an older type of Bugis vernacular house built more than fifty years ago
Summary
The crisis of climate change, depletion of the ozone layer, limited energy sources, and increased carbon emissions have awakened the building and construction industry to apply the concept of sustainnable development. The house as a human habitation should bring together aspects of sustainable development and the preservation of the built environment with the main indicators being the comfort of living and low energy consumption. People could learn from the vernacular house, which makes climate-responsive design a major consideration. Climate responsive design in vernacular buildings is known as bioclimatic or architecture that adapts to the local climate. Bioclimatic architecture is an example of the use of passive designs to achieve thermal comfort with the use of energy and carbon emissions to a minimum
