Identifikasi kenyamanan termal bangunan: studi kasus kampus IPB Baranangsiang dan Darmaga Bogor

Abstract

Housing development, well planned or not well planned, has changed the view of city and thermal environment. Many researchers claim that the worse quality of thermal environment is proportional to physical development of cities. Physical developments in urban areas have caused various environmental problems, one of them is the change in quality of thermal environment, become hotter than surrounding areas or natural areas. The purpose of this research is to identify the thermal comfort either in campus classrooms Darmaga or Baranangsiang IPB, Bogor. The method used is directly observational data in classrooms and campus. Index PMV (Predicted Mean Vote), using the boundary Effective Temperature (TE), THI (Temperature Humidity Index), and the last method is respondent test. The results of PMV ((Predicted Mean Vote) in lecture hall of campus IPB Baranangsiang and Darmaga are thermally neutral to slightly warm, though actually the lecture hall in campus IPB Darmaga is warmer. Temperature effective which is resulted in the both of lecture halls are comfortable warm conditions. In addition, for respondents test, the thermal impression in IPB campus of Baranangsiang prefers to choose the slightly warm conditions, but for a lecture hall in campus of IPB Darmaga is more dominated by warm and slightly warm conditions. The questionnaire has been appropiated to the range of PMV index. So, the lecture halls that have been studied in both of campus can be concluded as slightly warm condition, because the thermal impressions felt by the respondents are also in the range of neutral to slightly. The value of THI for both of campus environment is in the range of moderate or neutral.
