Abstract

This researchaims to understand visitors' perceptions of thermal comfort in the Masjid Agung Istiqamah, Tapaktuan. The focus of this research is the aspect of thermal comfort within the mosque, encompassing temperature, humidity, and wind speed, which are measured using a thermohygrometer and an anemometer. Using mixed methods, the study records visitors' responses through observations and qualitative interviews, while quantitative data are obtained from measurements to determine the levels of temperature, humidity, and wind speed in the mosque. A decline in the number of visits to the Agung Istiqamah Mosque in Tapaktuan prompted this research. Thermal comfort is considered inadequate by the visitors. The study results show that the average temperature is around 31.08°C, with humidity at 68.4% RH, and wind speed at 0.35 m/s. The majority of respondents feel hot during the day and suggest improving the cooling system. Although the humidity is deemed comfortable, the wind speed needs to be increased for the comfort of the mosque users. In conclusion, special attention should be given to temperature management, and it is recommended to enhance the cooling system and conduct continuous monitoring to improve comfort in the Agung Istiqamah Mosque.
