WE ARE REQUIRED TO Choose a building that would showcase the basic building design for thermal comfort. Eg. Existing roof .Record and analyze the existing condition in terms of thermal comfort of the interior directly affected by the basic building design. WE NEED TO Have a thorough research on the basic design strategies and existing thermal comfort level and environmental factors affecting it. Document all environmental factors (4) for a day and average for a year. 
WE NEED TO:

  • Propose a passive design and elaborate the principles, strategies and details needed to perform best in tropical climate in order to achieve thermal comfort in this building/space. Eg. Roof garden, roof pond

  • Prove with appropriate methods; eg. That heat gain is reduced through calculations of before and after.

  • Conclude your findings with photograph/sketches of the interior ambiances and outline the thermal

    comfort of before and after.

  • Explicitly detail visuals and narrate strategies that accompany this design feature.

  • Research should contain the following:

    Building Introduction (images, pictures, diagrams, drawings and description)

    Site analysis; micro (wind, sun, topography, etc.)

    Concept and analysis of buildings basic design strategies and proposed passive design strategy.

  • A proposal to achieve thermal comfort in the chosen space/building, elaborate design features with details, the effect on thermal comfort and importance of it.

  • Appropriate visuals and diagrams (tables, charts, etc.) with appropriate referencing and citation where applicable.
