Abstract
This study examines the level of the thermal environment in residential building in Malaysia at various urban micro-climates which are Kuala Lumpur (KL), Bayan Lepas (BL) and Kuching (K). A simulation model of a typically-designed residential building in Malaysia was constructed to determine the indoor temperatures in the indoor living spaces, namely living cum dining area (DL), wet kitchen (K) and master bedroom (MB). Findings suggest that the highest indoor temperature of 32.6 °C was obtained in a master bedroom (MB) in under KL climate at 1400 hours. Overall, indoor temperatures are higher than the indoor design conditions recommended in Malaysian Standard; MS1525:2007.
