B.Science 1 Project 1: Human Perception of Comfort Level

Objectives

1. To identify and define the principles of heat transfer in relation to building and people
2. To understand what is thermal comfort and discuss factors relating to thermal comfort
3. To analyze the effect of thermal comfort factors in a person and in a space
4. To be able to criticize design of the space in terms of thermal comfort by referring to MS1525 and UBBL

Learning Outcomes

1. Identify environmental conditions related to site conditions, climate, etc.
2. Explain the effects of the sun on the thermal performance of buildings
3. Explain the effect of insulation, thermal mass and air movement on thermal performance of buildings
4. Infer how different building material (K-value, u-value, r-value) has different effect on heat gain or thermal environment in a given space 

A report is done in a group of 6 people, analysing the selected site, 55 Jalan PJS 7/2 Bandar Sunway, 46150 Petaling Jaya, Selangor. The main content of the report is gathering information and analysing the thermal comfort, ventilation, shading devices and wind flow of the site. Data and information were gathered from the internet.
