Abstract

School buildings that use natural ventilation have challenges to Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) due to high noise intensity and the need to circulate air by opening windows. This study investigated SBS symptoms in schools closest to the airplane runway. Subjective measurements were carried out using self-administrative questionnaires to determine students’ perceptions. Objective measurements to obtain Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) data were carried out through an experiment of opening a window with an awning window type as far as 11 cm or 1/2 of the window span with an angle of 12.5. The average results of IEQ measurements on the thermal aspect include a temperature of 30.1 C, CO2 levels of 331 ppm, and wind speeds of 0.1-0.3 m/s have met the minimum comfort standards. However, the average humidity in the classroom has not been met. In addition, classroom noise is still far from the comfort standard, which is 70-109 dB. However, the results of the evaluation of students’ perception assessments of the IEQ of the room showed no symptoms of SBS in terms of physical and psychological aspects. Most students were not disturbed by the less-than-ideal thermal and acoustic conditions. However, students can experience long-term health problems and potentially experience psychological stress if they are continuously exposed to high levels of noise and less-than-ideal IEQ conditions.

Abstract

Placemaking transforms space into place by arranging form, activity, and meaning aspects. In a historical urban village context, the physical forms of historical objects are often altered due to space scarcity and growing needs. It could weaken the historical meaning of the place. Digital technologies could represent the lost historical forms or activities as digital placemaking strategies. Combining the Pepper Ghost illusion technique and digital projection produces a virtual layer to represent past events superimposed onto the site's surroundings to strengthen the place's meaning. It provides a practical digital placemaking strategy for urban village communities. This study aims to evaluate the design prototype of the virtual layer strategy by identifying factors that affect design performance and proposing design recommendations. This study was conducted by experiment and prototype testing. Testing with participants involved semi-structured interviews for data collection and content analysis to identify the factors. This study also provides schematic design implementation in Kampung Kungfu Kapasan, Surabaya. The results recommend designing the screen on a human scale, balancing environmental brightness for content clarity and visual comfort, as well as integrating installation design and surrounding elements. The overlapping strategy of past and present conditions forms a virtual layer as a layered enclosure. It affects how users perceive the surrounding environment, thereby shaping their perception of the place's meaning.

Abstract

A deep-plan office building design limits daylight access on the workspace distant from the side window. Horizontal Light Pipe (HLP) is one of the light transport systems that can deliver daylight to these areas. The research aim was to explain and evaluate the effect of HLP’s opening distribution area on daylight performance at deep plan-private office space. The research method was experimental with simulation as a tool. Daylight level and distribution of the base case, HLP with an opening distribution area of 6.6 m2 were compared with the case, HLP with an opening distribution area of 3.41 m2. The results showed that both cases distributed daylight uniformly. A 50% reduction of HLP’s opening distribution area, from 6.6 m2 to 3.41 m2 improved the average Daylight Factor as big as 6.42%. HLP with a smaller opening distribution area can be applied as the main source of daylight on deep-plan office spaces

Abstract

Lighting affects how people feel, react, and function in various settings, therefore lighting design strategy for worship room at churches should be aimed not only at fulfil the standard visual performance but should also be set as to enrich the room’s perception i.e. as the God’s holy place as well as a place for contemplation. Lighting problems found at the worship room of GPIB Immanuel Malang are not merely on the inappropriateness of lighting level and distributions, but also on the absence of the church’ nuance as a place for contemplation. This paper is intended to report a proposed schematic lighting design for improving the situation. Using visual hierarchical approach, the lighting design aspects such as intensity, colour rendering, type, direction and arrangement of luminaires are determined and integrated. The proposed lighting design strategy is expected to be able to solve luminous problems and create the designated room’s nuance/perceptions.

Abstract

A humid tropical climate characterized by high temperatures, relative humidity and solar radiation results in uncomfortable environmental conditions. Discomfort will be worse if the building is in a dense urban area. Densely building masses often weaken the local wind speed which is necessary for evaporative cooling process in tropical climate. In addition, the narrow distance between buildings can reduce access to daylight. Both of these environmental problems were experienced by SDIT Al Uswah Surabaya, which building is located in a densely populated neighbourhood. Along with the development program of educational facilities and infrastructure at the school, improving environmental conditions with passive concept is maintained and prioritized. Embodiment of the environment with the Selective Environment approach is used in this activity. The results of this activity will be in the form of design proposals for improving ventilation and lighting in classrooms. The limitation of expanding openings becomes an obstacle in fulfilling the natural ventilation and lighting requirements. In addition, the design of a three-storey building with a single loaded corridor requires special consideration for the design of sun shading that is safe for elementary school-age children, but still supports passive lighting and ventilation.

Abstract

Residential houses such as flats located near industrial areas are vulnerable to the threat of high-intensity dust, thereby, exposing the occupants to Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) in the form of health problems, especially in the upper respiratory system. Therefore, this research was conducted to find appropriate design solutions to minimize dust from entering buildings through the application of geometric planes as a form of defense. It is also important to note that dust is closely related to the direction of the wind which is its conveying medium. This led to the determination of the right geometric shape to be applied as a dust barrier in the building facade. Moreover, this research was based on the force-based framework which proposes a form-refine-assembly stage consisting of several methods to determine the shape through simulation and evaluation associated with existing theories. The results were able to determine the position and shape of the facade area to serve as the barrier to the arrival of dust. The design is expected to be integrated into the shape and landscape layout of buildings to reduce dust in the site area.

Abstract

Direct evaporative cooling (DEC) is a passive cooling strategy adopted in predominantly hot regions to restore building thermal comfort with less energy consumption and minimum impact on the environment. The implementation and studies of DEC in tropical housing are limited. Although DEC can reduce air temperature, an increase in relative humidity can still be seen as a disadvantage. Many materials were introduced for the cooling pads, but none was explicitly proposed for use in the housing unit. The present study explores different cotton-based fabrics to be used in the proposed evaporative cooler of the public housing unit in Surabaya. It analyses its ability to reduce air temperature and identify the increase in air humidity that may occur. A small-scale model of the housing unit that incorporates an evaporative cooling system is set, and internal air temperature and humidity are recorded. Results of the analysis show that different fabric specifications can lead to various thermal performances. A cotton-based blanket is found to be suitable for the proposed strategy.
