Abstract

Humid tropical climates are areas with high humidity temperature characteristics. This high temperature is partly due to sunlight which is always constant throughout the day, while high humidity is usually associated with relatively high rainfall. Because of this, in general, buildings in this area have a fairly wide canopy or what is often referred to as a shading element in architecture. This will ultimately affect the thermal comfort of buildings in the humid tropics. In this study the authors tried to look at the two main factors that shape thermal comfort, namely the level of temperature and humidity. The author will compare three types of outdoor spaces, namely sheltered outdoor spaces with walls on one side, shaded rooms without walls and outdoor spaces without shade. The research was conducted by measuring temperature and humidity simultaneously at the three locations. Measurements were carried out for two weeks, at five different times with an interval of two hours. The results obtained show that there are significant differences in temperature and humidity between open spaces and shaded spaces. Where the shaded room has lower temperature and humidity. As for other shaded rooms, it is known that shaded rooms without walls have lower temperature and humidity.

Abstract

Sibolga has good tourism potential because many beautiful beaches can compete with other countries such as Japan, Korea, and Singapore. However, Sibolga is still far behind these countries, the city of Sibolga will be more beautiful if taken care of the cleanliness of the beach. A tourist attraction requires a building that can accommodate by providing lodging services and other facilities that can support tourism activities. The beach is an area that is very vulnerable to natural damage caused by humans themselves, who are less critical in preserving the environment. Therefore we need a building with a design that can provide environmental insight to the broader community. To answer these problems, the construction of a resort hotel with a green architectural theme will accommodate tourists on vacation. Not only that, a design following the characteristics of tourists is needed to create an appropriate room typology. In addition, the application of the green architectural theme in buildings can have a good influence on the community. Providing environmental examples, will open up public insight and enable to reduction of the impact of damage and maximization of natural resources. To realize an environmentally friendly building is to save energy by using renewable energy such as the use of windmills because the speed of the air on the floor can rotate the windmill turbine so that it can produce renewable energy or by using solar panels that capture the heat of sunlight, electrical energy to produce renewable electricity. It requires environmentally friendly materials.
