SENSATION ON FEET COOLING WITH THERMAL COMFORT IN A PORUS WALLED ROOM

Abstract

Comfort for users is the goal of a arsitectural design. This study aims to propose a new innovations in the meeting room consept design with cases in the Faculty of Engineering meeting room, Udayana University in Jimbaran – Bali. Innovation which provides a sensation of thermal comfort, through the position of the wind speed/air movement. This meeting room is made porous on the underside of the wall. The study was conducted using the Ecotect-Winair(cfd) software to evaluate wind speed/air movement in the meeting room. Then use the CBE Thermal Comfort Tool to reveal the sensation that occurs. The direction of the wind that changes periodically and the sensation of thermal comfort based on different regions/tribes or individuals provide the limitations of this research. Thermal comfort as a bioclimatic approach in the context of green buildings. Green building design is a popular design today as a form of responsibility to the world. A novelty was found in the form of a cooling bioclimatic sensation by the wind speed on the feet which is felt on the skin around the footbridge with a new design concept in the meeting room.
