Abstract

Greenhouse is a modern agricultural technology that allows for increased agricultural yields. The purpose of this study was to analyze the thermal distribution in the greenhouse of the Sumatra Institute of Technology (ITERA) in 3 time conditions, namely in the morning, afternoon and evening. The method used is CFD modeling using Solidwork. The dimensions of the greenhouse are 12.5 x 25 x 4.26 m³. The greenhouse is divided into a grid into 20 thermal measurement points separated by 2.5 m. The greenhouse has 2 cooling pads and 2 exhaust fans separated by 12.5 m. Model validation using MAPE and R2. The results of the analysis show that 3 models have valid results with MAPE 10% and R2 0.75 and can continue in the review of thermal distribution. of the 3 time condition models that provide a thermal distribution of 28 - 37 ℃. Morning conditions are hotter than afternoon and evening. Cold air from the cooling pad sucked by the exhaust fan is only able to control an area 50%. So the thermal distribution of the greenhouse needs improvement.

Abstract

The advancement of cooling technologies aims to enhance indoor comfort, but conventional air conditioners (AC) raise sustainability concerns due to high energy consumption. This study evaluated the performance of an air cooler in classroom E304, characterized by high occupancy and initial temperatures of 28–30°C with 55–57% relative humidity, exceeding comfort limits per SNI 03-6572-2001. After installing a single air cooler, CFD simulations indicated a temperature reduction to 22.50–23.08°C and relative humidity of 54.89–62.34%, within the comfort range. Model validation demonstrated high accuracy, with RMSE below 1°C and MAPE below 3%, confirming the simulation’s reliability for classroom cooling design. The results demonstrate that air coolers provide an effective and energy-efficient solution for tropical classrooms.

Abstract

This study evaluates the thermal comfort of Classroom E303 at the Sumatera Institute of Technology, a west-facing room exposed to high solar heat in a tropical climate. Air temperature and relative humidity were measured at 16 points under unoccupied conditions and used as boundary inputs for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations developed with SketchUp and SolidWorks. Model validation using mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and root mean square error (RMSE) showed good accuracy at 4.41% and 1.06 °C. Baseline analysis indicates that the thermal conditions approach the upper limit of the SNI 03-6572-2001 comfort standard, reflecting a warm indoor environment. A mist-based evaporative cooling scenario reduced temperature by 2.7 °C and increased relative humidity by 16%RH, demonstrating its potential to enhance comfort. The findings confirm that CFD is an effective tool for predicting indoor thermal performance and supporting passive, energy-efficient strategies in tropical educational buildings.
